Have a look at the BBC’s poetry season mini-site. Loads of media and bits and pieces about making poetry accessible. If you’re an English teacher you’ve probably already seen it but I thought I’d post it anyway.

Check out the bits with Caroline Bird in the Discover section.

I watched Simon Schama’s programme on John Donne last night. Filthy! I had no idea…

The best bit was watching Simon Schama flirting with Fiona Shaw – kind of sweet. If you’re in the UK try catching it on iPlayer (until 2nd June).

Also, check out the Poetry Archive site, Andrew Motion’s big project to make available as many poets reading their own material as possible.
