    First broadcast: Aug 2014.
    Episode 1/2 The first episode explores the stylistic shifts in poetry as the 20th century dawned, when poets began to jettison tradition for modern forms of expression. They would reject the sentiment and moralising of Victorian poetry and call for a new directness and economy of language fitting for a postwar generation. Featuring the works of Ezra Pound, TS Eliot, Edith Sitwell, WH Auden, Stevie Smith, John Betjeman, RS Thomas and Dylan Thomas.

    So many poets absorbed the profound poetic Genius of Edward FitzGerald, the translator and adaptor of the world famous poem The Ruba'iya't of Omar Khayya'm and yet so few have written of their debt to him... like this programme has so many views - 25,539 to date yet so few comments made... Comment by Charles Mugleston of the Omar khayya'm Theatre Company.

    Being from Idaho and knowing full well he left at 18 months, I am still flummoxed by his country fried colonel accent. Still have no idea where he found it. The Cantos, by the way, are muchos ruidos por nuezes.

    The influence of Chinese poetry was huge. We would all do well to study the poets of the Spring and Autumn, Warring States and early mid and late Tang. As relevant today as they were back in 450BC to the end of the Tang in 900AD.

    T.S. Elliot ... Did not eclipse Pound...
    Pound developed Elliot... and continued to edit his work AND many others...

    Pound played politics; that was dangerous.
    Auden, Nabokov, and D.H. Lawrence
    Flayed politics, and that was dangerous.

    These are rather boring. I'm more of a Suess fan myself. Especially during his Green Eggs and Ham period.
