Ian McMillan is joined by poets Michael Symmons Roberts, Kate Fox, Jacob Polley and sound designer Amanda Priestley to celebrate the rich variety of new poetry commissions written for the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s centenary year. The show includes work from the Sound First scheme (Radio 3 and ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Contains Strong Language working together to find the best emerging sound design talent in the UK) - three poems with evocative sound design. Also, we share the very last commission in our Something New series, by Sinéad Morrisey - called Charm.

Sound First work featured:

Speaker - poem by Jacob Polley, sound designer Nicky Elson
Atlas - poem by Joelle Taylor, sound designer Amanda Priestley
Root Your Words in the Earth - poem by Malika Booker, sound designer Louis Blatherwick
