Thanks for this, Max. I'll watch and listen with interest. I shared the stage with SM at an Edinburgh Festival reading in 1983. I'd not heard of him at that point, but the experience hearing him was unforgetable and pretty overwhelming.

In this episode, influential poet Sorley MacLean reflects on the fusion of music and language, his political leanings, and his post-war loathing of poetry itself.' That's what it says, and I see there are other writers nearby, yet to be sampled. Max --
