The Verb - George Szirtes on his latest collection

Ian McMillan's guests include George Szirtes, who talks about his latest collection of poems, which bring together work old and new. Born in Hungary, Szirtes came to Britain in 1956 and works as a poet, translator, writer and librettist, and he won the TS Eliot Prize for his collection of poems Reel in 2005. Plus a new commission, written especially for the programme by author Steven Hall, whose science fiction thriller debut The Raw Shark Texts imagines a man on the run from a conceptual shark that wants to eat his personality.
