Poems with Friends: Charlie Beaumont - Irises by Fiona Benson

In this latest episode in our mini series of 'Poems with Friends', John Prebble speaks with Charlie Beaumont about a poem that is keeping him company at this time: 'Irises' by Fiona Benson.

 

Charlie is a great friend to The Poetry Exchange - one of our most avid and closest listeners, always with such thoughtful responses to what we share, and a deep and wide reader of poetry also.

 

It was a pleasure to speak with him about this beautiful poem...

 

'Irises' is from Fiona Benson's first collection, Bright Travellers, published by Cape Poetry.

 

We'll be back with more poems with friends next month!

 

Thank you for listening,
