Great Poems: William Blake's The Tyger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Philippa champions William Blake's poem The Tyger, but Mark and Lorna are not convinced... The poet, bookseller and psychologist discuss awe and awesomeness in literature, including Mary Oliver, Kazuo Ishiguro's Remains Of The Day, and Olga Tozarczuk's Drive Your Plough Over The Bones Of The Dead. Specificity as a writing tip gets considered, and in what ways William Blake was ahead of his time.
