I am now a grandmother in my sixties.One of my happiest memories in life was sitting in poetry classes in school and in University.

Imagine going to university for a literature course and ... well...if you are like me... from a family where nobody had gone to university before you... they can be intimidating places.

But if Frank Skinner was the lecturer it would be brilliant. He was clearly an attentive student on his literature course...now he could teach it... with knowledge and enthusiasm.

He would get to the front of the lecture hall and share his love and understsnding of these great works of language art:)

It's not that hard to imagine...just listen to the podcast... poetry analysis that is enjoyment... witty and passionate... and bloody clever.
