    Ask yourself, what makes life worth living? 
    Our existence many has swirls and flings followed ups down; mountains, canyons, and rivers to cross. Understandably, we cannot unfailingly feel fulfilled. We feel depressed at times. That, too, is all right; the journey of life should not be marred by sadness; instead, we should place great emphasis on the treatment of others. Life's journey is worth exploring, though things may not be as we desire, and the people we encounter may not be just or reasonable. We are in control of how we treat others as that is within our power. 
    Something for you! 
    "A wise proverb stated that I should walk in someone else's shoes to get to know them. 
    After trying it, I found some too big, some too small, some smelly and others uncomfortable. 
    Another regarded advice said I should look at things through another's eyes. 
    I found things to be sometimes blurry, sometimes too close or far away, sometimes too vivid. 
    Society told me I needed to get to know each person individually. 
    I quickly realized I rarely had that kind of time. 
    Lastly, I was told to look inside myself. 
    I found things to be crowded, complicated, joyous, and painful. 
    Finally, I just decided to be kind."

    This program is read by the author. 
     
    A powerful, inventive collection from one of America's most critically acclaimed poets. 
    Carl Phillips's new poetry collection, Pale Colors in a Tall Field, is a meditation on the intimacies of thought and body as forms of resistance. The poems are both timeless and timely, asking how we can ever truly know ourselves in the face of our own remembering and inevitable forgetting. Here, the poems metaphorically argue that memory is made up of various colors, with those most prominent moments in a life seeming more vivid, though the paler colors are never truly forgotten.  
    The poems in Pale Colors in a Tall Field approach their points of view kaleidoscopically, enacting the self's multiplicity and the difficult shifts required as our lives, in turn, shift. This is one of Phillips's most tender, dynamic, and startling collections yet.

    Poet Laureates. Volume 2.  The office of Poet Laureate is a high honour amongst poets. The Ancient Greeks had the first idea and their heroes and Poets wore wreaths of Laurel in honour of the god Apollo.  Many countries now have a Laureate as do many societies and organisations.  But perhaps ranked first among them all is that of our own Poet Laureate. Unfortunately no single authentic definitive record exists of the office of Poet Laureate of England.  In some form it can be traced back to 1189 and Richard Canonicus who was employed by Richard I with the title “versificator Regis”.  It is said that Geoffrey Chaucer was called Poet Laureate, being granted in 1389 an annual allowance of wine.   After that there were a succession of ‘volunteer Laureates’.  It is not until 1617 that King James I created the post as it is known today for Ben Jonson, although it appears not to have been a formal appointment. That formality:- The title of Poet Laureate, as a royal office, was first conferred by letters patent on John Dryden in 1670 And from there we have procession of outstanding poets among them William Wordsworth, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Alfred Austin.  Among our readers are Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe.

    These are words written during Patrick's mother's diagnosis of leukaemia and after her death—mostly under a tree on the mountain where he would speak with her. No perfectly crafted sonnets but the raw breath of grief—of trying to work out what was, is and will be. We write to escape ourselves and to find ourselves—these poems are a testament to a life and to love. We are alone in our grief but connected to others' grieving and words are the threads stitching us together.
    
    With an introduction by Patrick's brother, Nicky Wire.
