In this extended interview with poet Christopher Reid (recorded alongside a podcast featuring his new book 'Six Bad Poets') we discuss the many aspects of a varied career: Reid's early association with the 'Martian' school of writing (notable for its use of surprising visual imagery); his eight years as Poetry Editor at Faber, at the helm of a list featuring the likes of Hughes, Heaney and Muldoon and an emerging new generation of talented new writers; and finally his moving sequence of poems - 'A Scattering' - written in memory of his late wife Lucinda, and winner of the Costa Book of the Year Award. Interspersed in the conversation are readings of verse from his 'Selected Poems'. This is a fantastic insight into the life of someone at the very heart of British poetry, and should be of great interest to anyone involved - whether fledgling poet or experienced editor - in poetry publishing today.

Birds, insects and gold fever : welcome to Gran Sabana. A vivid landscape betweeen savanah and the Amazonian forest in Venezuela, near the Brazilian border. Noisy animals and a few men, digging the earth for very little gold they will later spend on cock fights.

Oiseaux, insectes et chercheurs d'or : bienvenue à Gran Sabana, région naturelle de savane et de forêt amazonienne au Venezuela, près de la frontière brésilienne. Là, parmi les singes et les animaux divers, quelques hommes creusent pour un peu d'or qu'ils perdront ensuite sur les combats de coqs.

Joule of denial: Russia’s energy games

We live in a world that is recreating itself one life and one digital connection at a time. On this landscape for which there are no maps, Seth Godin is a singular thought leader and innovator in what he describes as our post-industrial "connection economy." Rather than merely tolerate change, he says, we are all called now to rise to it. We are invited and stretched in whatever we do to be artists — to create in ways that matter to other people.

Meditation One: Mindfulness Of Body And Breath

This hour of Radiolab, a look behind the curtain of how memories are made...and forgotten. Remembering is an unstable and profoundly unreliable process--it’s easy come, easy go as we learn how true memories can be obliterated, and false ones added. And Oliver Sacks joins us to tell the story of an amnesiac whose love for his wife and music transcend his 7-second memory.

Memory and Forgetting

A circle forms around two lads
Circle of boys 
Circle of boys
There's gonna be a fight in the playground
Sleeves rolled up
Socks pulled down
Blood flows from one kids nose
But the older boys want more
They want strips torn from uniforms
It's a test of strength
Two boys rolling around in the dust
In the dust...
Embrace

And when a boy grows up he's still the same
He's still the same
But he's a man
And a man is physical
And a man has to put his physical
Body to the test
Body to the test
Against another man
Do you measure up?
Or do ya still have work to do?
Still have work to do...
Embrace

It's hard to trust somebody
It's hard to believe in love
How do you measure love?
But you can trust your body
Push / rip / taste / touch / work your body
And if you work that body
Don't need to trust nobody
Pull the trigger
Run the race
Beat the man
Chase the clock
Aware to God
That's His that was
Throw the spear
Take the glory
Embrace

A man can meet another man
In a bar
On the sportsfield
At his place of work
Or in his own apartment
Or on the internet right now

So Turn / Face / Connect
Embrace

You gotta prove yourself
Understand yourself
Show your strength
Embrace

Now Flex
Look your best
Eye to eye
Embrace

Turn / Face
Man & Woman
Embrace

Embrace, come on 
Embrace, come on
Embrace

The body is real

You gotta love one another
