@@rapier1954 Stevens and Crane fall outside the chronological scope of this documentary, spanning as it does the years 1955 to 1982 (Stevens died in 1955).
I think the goal was to examine a variety of poets representative of the era being surveyed (1955 to 1982), without necessarily valorizing the talents of the included authors.

Very well represented. Really enjoyed this documentary on poets I've never heard of. Loved watching this.
thank you for posting this. it gives me such joy (and a bit of sweet sadness).
Wonderful
I enjoyed it, but it's a shame not all speakers were named.
Good stuff, really good stuff.
Excelent
enjoyed it thanks, very Oxford, BBC tradition steeped but nevertheless
Aunt Petunia!
um, Bukowski and Carver?
They missed the boat in so many ways it is not funny.
Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, Hart Crane etc etc. Should read Great Poets the BBC are Aware Of.
I think the focus of this doc was british poets and poets that were big in Britain at the time.

Some of the poet's in this series aren't remotely great...

Typical BBC elitism ... any more perchance ...?
