To mark the death last May of Paul Durcan, Daljit Nagra revisits the Â鶹Éç's poetry archive to revisit the Irish poet reading his witty and moving poem 'Christmas Day'. In the first of three parts, Paul begins his book-length poem setting out a funny, sweetly sad and often irreverent vision of Christmas. Accustomed to loneliness, Paul accepts his friend Frank's invitation for Christmas lunch. Written and read by Paul Durcan. Producer: David Hunter First broadcast on Radio 3 in December 1997. **** And Daljit reads a poem from his Poetry Extra Book of the Month - an anthology called: Nature Matters.
