Margaret Drabble's 'desert island poems'

1. The Thorn by William Wordsworth
2. The Windhover by Gerard Manley Hopkins
3. Elderhouse by Peter Redgrove
4. Timothy Winters by Charles Causley
5. Wintering by Sylvia Plath
6. Home Birth by Penelope Shuttle
7. The Ship of Death by D.H. Lawrence
8. Emily Dickinson poem beginning Exultation is the going/Of an inland soul to sea,/Past the houses--past the headlands--/ Into deep Eternity--

Margaret Drabble's conversation with Peter Florence was fresh, lively and full of interest. By sheer coincidence Penelope Shuttle was in Ledbury for another event, so she came along and read her own poem! Penelope said she had not read Home Birth in years! A real treat.
