Helen Mort's Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker welcomes Helen Mort to the Unclassified Listening Chair to share a track that transports her elsewhere. Helen has been described by Carol Ann Duffy as being “among the brightest stars in the sparkling new constellation of British poets” and is also widely celebrated for her work in fiction, drama and creative non-fiction. A keen walker and climber, Helen’s writing displays a deep engagement with the rhythms of the body and the natural world.

Elsewhere in the programme, Elizabeth shares the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
