Literary Criticism: Broadcasts

Occasionally Richard Price has contributed to radio broadcasts. As well as appearing now and then on Ian McMillan's The Verb he has been a talking head on the following programmes.

A Few Don'ts (2012)

The poet Lavinia Greenlaw reappraises Ezra Pound's manifesto, A Few Don'ts by an Imagiste.

A century on, what can his lively don'ts do for today's poets, if anything?

With fellow poets Frances Leviston, Andrea Brady and Richard Price, and with the visual artist Cornelia Parker, psychologist Sophie Scott and composer John Woolrich, Lavinia explores the dos and don'ts of good poetry and the ins and outs of writing manifestos about it. Unusually among contemporary poets, Richard Price is particularly critical of Ezra Pound's approach. First broadcast on 2nd December 2012.
