A
Fine Excess
'Poetry should

The
PBS' 2001/2 touring poetry show visited 16 theatres and arts centres round the
UK, from Derbyshire to Devon. Michael Donaghy and Sean O'Brien hosted the readings,
with a range of guest poets (including Jean 'Binta Breeze', U A Fanthorpe, John
Hegley, Andrew Motion and Don Paterson) each reading their own work and that of
the classic poets who had inspired them.
