Carol Ann Duffy and John Sampson: Earth Prayers

In Earth Prayers, Carol Ann selects nature poetry from across the ages, from John Clare to Lucille Clifton and Kathleen Jamie, that reflects the fragility of our world and the urgent need for thoughtful stewardship. Encompassing anger at greed and destruction, alongside celebration of the profound and joyful, Carol Ann complements her own writing with voices from around this small planet. The poetry interplays with music from virtuoso John Sampson, who brings an engaging wit as well as sparky tunes on diverse brass and woodwind instruments, creating a unique and inspiring afternoon.
