Unwritten Poems - Verb Podcast Extra

A chance to hear the poems from the Unwritten event at 'Contains Strong Language' in full

To mark 100 years since the end of the First World War, The Verb presents ‘Unwritten’, a special edition of the programme telling the neglected stories of those who fought in the British West Indian Regiment, and the stories of those they left behind, through a series of new poems.

The Verb recorded Unwritten in front of an audience at the Â鶹Éç Contains Strong Language Festival in Hull earlier this year. We couldn't fit all the poems in the broadcast edition, so we've produced this extra podcast episode featuring the full length poems as performed at Contains Strong Language, alongside a previously unbroadcast poem by Kat Francois.
