The New Harvest

Harvests have featured in poetry and songs for centuries, spanning both the beauty and difficulty of farming. Poet Sean Borodale discovers how to write a harvest poem now, as he visits farms and witnesses the rituals and celebrations of this time of year. He'll share poems inspired by harvest time and take a snapshot of our harvests, to hear what has changed and the new reality of farming.

Presented by Sean Borodale and produced by Caitlin Hobbs.
