"Poetry is the great discipline for the speaking voice. When you speak poetry well, you are able to speak well on all other occasions."

As part of the Irish storytelling series, this episode explores poetry through the words of Brendan Kennelly. Christine discusses poetry as a form of emotional connection and how it can be structured and spoken in a way which forges connections with audiences and ourselves. Christine also reveals her own thoughts and personal experiences with poetry throughout her life, reciting her favourite Brendan Kennelly poem for us at the end.
