Series 1, Dom Moraes: The Double Exile
Poet Brian Patten explores the life and work of lesser-known or forgotten poets. Born in India, educated at Oxford, admirer of Auden and Spender and a youthful resident of low Soho dives, the life of the beautiful Dom Moraes was in itself poetical. Brian finds in Moraes' work the melancholy of a man who never quite belonged either in India or England.
