Sarah Salway returns to the Poetry Bath to read from her new collection, The Hands of a Gardener, a novel in verse that follows the life of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Sarah talks about writing with an end in view and how the collection began as a crime novel. We also chat about story, landscape and the women, both real and imaginary, in Brown's life.
The Poetry Bath's theme tune is composed and performed by Nigel Horn.
In 2023 The Poetry Bath moved to Buzzsprout from Wildhart Radio. You can listen to all 51 earlier episodes via my website.
