from A Break in the Waves · host Push the Boat Out

Listen to our new podcast episode recorded from our 2023 festival. This month, Jenny Niven talks with Jeremy Corbyn and Len McCluskey as they read some of their favourite poems from their co-published anthology Poetry for the Many. This beautiful new anthology features wide-ranging poems that have moved and enlightened them and, they hope, go some way to democratising poetry. William Blake, Bertolt Brecht, Maya Angelou and Linton Kwesi Johnson are included, with contributions by Maxine Peake, Michael Rosen and Ken Loach, to name some. Expect heartfelt readings and conversation on socialism, language and love poetry.
