Today’s pick

A Laureate for Elizabeth

Radio 4, 4pm

Masefield, Day-Lewis,

Betjeman, Hughes, Motion,

Duffy and Armitage. The

roll call of poet laureates

who have served during

the reign of Queen Elizabeth

II is as long as it is

impressive. Here William

Sieghart, right, the founder

of National Poetry Day,

scrutinises their work as

public poets. From

Betjeman’s gentle and

amusing lines in A Ballad of

the Investiture 1969 (“Now

television cameras whirr/

Like cats at last induced to

purr”) to Andrew Motion’s

reference to “a shanty town

of cardboard boxes” in 2000,

it is a fascinating story.
