Sometimes only a poem will do. In the years since he first had the idea of prescribing short, powerful poems for all manner of spiritual ailments, William Sieghart has taken his Poetry Pharmacy the length and breadth of Britain honing his prescriptions all the time. Whether you are suffering from loneliness, lack of courage, heartbreak, hopelessness, or even from an excess of ego, there is something here to meet your needs.
William Sieghart established the Forward Prize for Poetry and founded National Poetry Day. Offering comfort, delight and inspiration for all, William talks to Emma Harding, BBC radio producer and writer about his second volume The Poetry Pharmacy Returns.
