Split Screen: Andy Jackson

This presentation sees the launch of a collection of 72 specially commissioned poems from some of the UK's finest poets, including Ian MacMillan, Annie Freud and George Szirtes. Each poem takes its lead from an icon of popular culture, either from the world of film or television. From Doctor Who to It's A Wonderful Life, from Tommy Cooper to Jayne Mansfield, each poem is a personal take on a popular theme. If you were ever told by your parents that you would get square eyes if you watched too much telly then come along and hear a galaxy of poets read poems about the movies and television they love. Part of StAnza: Scotland's International Poetry Festival.
