> Trappists beware! Words and Music this week is a noisy celebration of 
> correspondence and correspondences ? the exchange between poets, 
> between musicians, between a mother and her son, between lovers and 
> between friends. Plenty to contemplate and to compare but precious 
> little silence?.a nightmare for the likes of Kafka who worried that 
> wayside ghosts preyed on his letters drinking the paper kisses and 
> consuming all love and affection before they reached the rightful 
> recipient but a feast for our unquiet, twittering Twenty First Century.

> This week?s programme is an invitation to eavesdrop on Arthur 
> Honegger?s unwitting correspondence with Steve Reich ? to hear Charlie 
> Mingus?s open letter to Duke Ellington?or, if you prefer, to lend an 
> ear to Mary Woolstonecroft?s coruscating rebuke to her feckless beau, 
> Gilbert Imlay and to share the bitter taste of Ovid?s Black Sea exile. 
> *Some of the exchanges are direct while others are arrows unleashed in 
> hope across time and space. So Lawrence Durrell?s beautiful elegy --- 
> On First looking into Loeb?s Horace ? is an exchange between two 
> poets, a commentator?s notes on a fellow commentator and also a sort 
> of self portrait in a convex mirror.

> Throughout the programme there are similar harmonic collisions ? 
> Britten with Dowland, Part with Britten, Janacek with Ezra Pound and 
> Matthew Sweeney with Linton Kwesi Johnson among others.

> The readers are Claire Skinner and John Rowe.

> On First looking into Loeb?s Horace*
