Jonathan Davidson retraces his immersion in poetry, from childhood onwards, listening carefully to the shapes it made in the air. Looking closely at poems by Maura Dooley and Peter Didsbury, amongst others, and examining the impact of hearing Ted Hughes, Carol Ann Duffy and Earnesto Cardenal, he offers a very personal response to the public and private experiences of poetry.
