Joe Riley Presents: This Be The Verse

They might not meant to, but they do...

Joe Riley, teacher and poet of no great renown, is a lifelong lover of Larkin. In this series he attempts to read some of Larkin's poems in suitable places with his trusty tape recorder. In this final episode of the summer, Joe heads out with his daughter and reads This Be The Verse.

Please note this episode contains strong language.
