Today Michael Berkeley talks to the poet, children's author and broadcaster Michael Rosen, whose work ranges from the much-loved Very Silly Poems for children, to two recent adult poetry anthologies, Carrying the Elephant, written in the aftermath of his 18-year-old son's sudden death from meningitis, and This Is Not My Nose, dealing with his own battle with chronic illness. His musical passions range from Beethoven and Mozart to Georges Brassens' Le Parapluie and Billy Pigg playing the Northumbrian pipes.
