Description

Charlie and Lee return for another week of poetic wonder, this time reading poems by Sylvia Plath and Seamus Heaney. They discuss the joy of youth, Lee's love/hate relationship with Seamus Heaney (which seems to develop throughout the episode) and how lovely Faber and Faber's books are!
