NOW Welcome to the second BBC nature poetry workshop. I hope so.
Words are subtle things, most of all in poetry.
It s a kind of writing where everything counts and nothing is accidental. Move a word, and you change the world. In this issue I d like to look at writing nature poetry in practical ways. In the last issue we examined Hughes poem Jaguar , and the way the poet looked at his subject so hard that he became almost like a cat himself. Because the writer has to be the eyes of the reader.
