Michael Berkeley?s guest is the poet Anne Stevenson, acclaimed as one of the most intelligent, assured and skilful writers of our time. Brought up in the USA, where she trained as a musician, she came to Britain in the 1950s, and has published several award-winning collections of poetry, including most recently, Granny Scarecrow and A Report from the Border, as well as a controversial biography of Sylvia Plath.
She is as passionate about music as she is about poetry, and her choices range from Bach to Messiaen.
