The guest on this episode of the show is William Sieghart of The Poetry Pharmacy.
William Sieghart has made a phenomenal contribution to the arts and particularly poetry during a career spanning more than three decades.
He is the founder of the Forward Prize for Poetry and National Poetry Day, both of which have been running successfully since the 1990s. More recently he has established the Poetry Pharmacy
We talk about poetry as therapy and solace for a whole range of things, including the coronavirus / Covid-19 pandemic, as well as many other things, such as anxiety, loneliness and fear.
I'm a big believer in poems as a form of prayer for a restless mind, and when I discovered the work of The Poetry Pharmacy, I thought that William would be a perfect person to speak to right now.
