Ben takes us on the journey of a new poem as it forms in his mind and makes its way to the page. Coinciding with a newly published anthology of his poems, A Fire in My Head, he reflects on the poetry writing process and the role of the poet in the 21st century.
Through a mixture of audio diary recorded in London during lockdown and in conversation with the BBC’s Bola Mosuro, Ben offers an unique insight into his way of bringing one of the most ancient literary forms to life.
