For this episode we’re heading back to the Poetry Pharmacy – a health-check for both mind and spirit – brought to you by poetry publisher, advocate and founder of the Forward Prizes for Poetry, William Sieghart. It’s not our first visit. Regular listeners may have enjoyed our previous two Poetry Pharmacy events, in which Sieghart and a host of acting talent explored the power of words to help us make sense of life’s everyday challenges. Sieghart is back now with The Poetry Pharmacy Forever: New Prescriptions to Soothe, Revive and Inspire, a new collection of poems compiled for a post-pandemic world. Recently he joined BBC broadcaster Sarah Montague onstage for our Intelligence Squared event at the Tabernacle in London. Also appearing were the stage and screen actors Natascha McElhone and Sheila Atim.
