Scottish Poetry Library Podcast

Odysseys of one sort or another theme the latest SPL podcast. Our guide, the poet Alasdair Paterson, takes us on a journey from a wry take on Homer's Greece through the Livepool music scene of the 1970s, onwards to post-Soviet Russia, ending in Arcadia. Little wonder Paterson's latest collection is called Elsewhere or Thereabouts (Shearsman). Along the way we welcome guests such as the geologist James Hutton and Paterson's fellow librarian-poet Philip Larkin.
