In this final episode before The Poetry Bath's summer holiday, Sarah Salway continues to read from her new collection, The Hands of a Gardener, a novel in verse that follows the life of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Sarah tells me how having an awareness of gardens and messiness informed her use of poetic form in the book, and the excitement of, in Sarah's words, 'sorting things out.'
The Poetry Bath's theme tune is composed and performed by Nigel Horn.
