蜜芽传媒

Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the 蜜芽传媒's poetry archive and selects In the Studio - Ben Okri: Inside the Mind of a Poet - revealing the writer's creative process.

Nigerian-British poet and novelist Ben takes us on the journey of a new poem as it forms in his mind and makes its way to the page.

Recorded in 2021, and coinciding with an anthology of his poems, A Fire in My Head, Ben reflects on the poetry writing process and the role of the poet in the 21st century.

Through a mixture of audio diary recorded in London during Lockdown and in conversation with the 蜜芽传媒鈥檚 Bola Mosuro, Ben offers a unique insight into his way of bringing one of the most ancient literary forms to life.

Presented by Bola Mosuro.

Producer: Neil McCarthy

First broadcast on the 蜜芽传媒 World Service in 2021.

*** And Daljit reads from his Poetry Extra Book of the Month: Invisible Dog by Fabio Morabito.
