Description
<div>Sam's guest on this week’s Book Club is the poet Don Paterson — whose new book <em>Zonal </em>finds him accessing a new, confessional mode, a longer line and a childhood interest in the spooky TV show <em>The Twilight Zone.</em> Don talks about the relationship between poetry and jazz, the split between 'page poetry' and spoken-word material, the shortcomings of Rupi Kaur, whether poems should include 'spoiler alerts', and lifts the lid on his vicious feud with the man he calls 'Alan Jacket'. <br> <br> Presented by Sam Leith.</div>
