Some of the poets who have recorded readings for the Archive have also filmed interviews for us about their work. Often speaking in their own homes, they talk about where their ideas come from, how they write and the impact other poets have had on them. We will add more of these interviews as the Archive grows.

Join Jackie Kay as she reveals the musical influences on her award-winning poetry, and passes on some of her tips for helping you put pen to paper.
