[New-Poetry] [Fwd: ira lightman on Radio 3's The Verb]

[Bob Grumman]

Ira Lightman is on Radio 3's The Verb, with a new poem celebrating the 
400th anniversary of John Milton's birth, in discussion with Ian 
McMillan, Vikram Seth, Sue Townshend and Paul Batchelor, for one week 
only at

Ira spent the week blindfolded, trying to write Miltonic verse, dense 
with classical and biblical allusion and formal skill, which Milton 
himself wrote after he'd gone blind.
