The poems by William Wordsworth, Matthew Arnold, Lynette Roberts, Sylvia Plath, Louis MacNeice and George Mackay Brown explore a sense of place and identity across Britain and open the doors to captivating stories about the lives of the poets themselves.

"...one of the many virtues of A Poet’s Guide was that it didn’t do the obvious things. Partly because of this, partly because of a presenter, Owen Sheers, who managed to be both trenchant and user-friendly, and partly because it cleverly mixed up literary analysis and biography, this was the best poetry programme I’ve seen in years. And since poetry programmes on TV are as rare as snow leopards, I’d better add that it could have stood proud in any company"
