On Thursday, Radio 4 celebrated National Poetry Day with a whole day’s programming devoted to how poetry has made the British who we are. (God, how the BBC loves exploring who we are, uniting the UK in a cross-cultural, multi-platform, educational yet uplifting moment.) We British: An Epic in Poetry was, indeed, an epic. Even though the poems stopped for regulars such as The Archers and The World at One, you were never more than a few moments from a rhyming couplet.
