William Blake’s poetry and prose. We visit Sir Philip at home to discuss the poet who has ‘inspired and intoxicated’ him for the last sixty years. In Philip’s book-lined sitting room we discuss Blake’s most loved works: his Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell and Auguries of Innocence.
Pullman has written frequently about Blake and previously served as President of the William Blake Society.

James Baldwin in Paris. On the rain-soaked boulevards, the novelist Caryl Phillips discusses Baldwin's exquisite same-sex love story, drinking in the Cafe de Flore and exploring Saint Germain des Prés.

John Donne's poetry with Katherine Rundell
John Donne’s poetry and prose in London. The scholar and children’s author Katherine Rundell traces the life and paradoxical career of John Donne from the street where he was born, through the palaces and colleges where he worked to the cathedral where he preached and now lies buried.
In 2022 Rundell won the Baillie-Gifford Prize for her biography of Donne, Super-Infinite.
Donne's prose masterpiece Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions was published 400 years ago in January 1624.
