The Verb, BBC Radio 4’s poetry performance and discussion programme, comes to Hay Festival. In the company of the Barnsley Bard Ian McMillan and his guests there’ll be word wrangling, juxtaposition juggling, playful phrasing, and of course some poems. Guests include the Children’s Laureate Wales Nicola Davies, composer Nathan James, poet Clare E Potter and award-winning novelist Joanna Kavenna.
