Clare is joined by Nerrida Prosser in this episode to discuss Seamus Heaney's compilation of poetry by William Wordsworth. Nerrida's evident passion for poetry, and belief that it is accessible for students is evident in the clear manner she discusses the key ideas and concerns of the poetry. What is discovered through the conversation is that many of the ideas and issues Wordsworth was engaging with in his era are remarkably similar to those experienced by individuals in the 21st Century, and there is scope for students to find connection and relevance in his ideas.
