In the winter-wet of January, Laura Potts speaks to Ilkley-based musician Keely Hodgson on her career as a composer and the role that poetry has played in her work. From childhood to the present day, Hodgson will discuss the link between poetry and music, between the poetic line and the lyric, and just how much the two interplay. To a classical soundtrack, she will also share her own compositions accompanied by Laura's poetry and recently performed on the BBC. 9pm: Jaimes Lewis Moran and Dave Binns present their own music and poetry combo.

This month, on Love The Words: Linda Sage talks about her new book, Caring for the Caregiver. ‘Looking after yourself is not a luxury, it is a necessity. But caring for yourself often feels much harder than looking after others. Compassion Fatigue is syndrome which particularly affects caregivers, whether professional, voluntary or within your own family; it is devastating, it is prevalent and it can be lethal’. Jimmy Andrex’s Seminal Outburst. ‘Are you a bit anal about things? If so, are you really quoting from Freud’s Theory on psychosexual development or have you just heard someone say it? The Seminal Outburst panel will attempt to uncover how Freud’s ideas have permeated our language and thought. We might talk about your mother’. R.J.Barber talks about his novel. ;’RJ Barker’s Age of Assassins is an exciting murder mystery, rife with intrigue, action and magic, set within a medieval fantasy world and the first book in the Wounded Kingdom trilogy, released worldwide through Orbit books. RJ is a native of leeds, has played in bands, been a sound engineer, a tax man and written short plays performed throughout the country at venues including the West Yorkshire playhouse, Whitby Abbey and the Imperial War Museum.” Ilkley-based Martyn Bedford reads from, and talks about, his new collection of short fiction, Letters Home, from Comma Press. Martyn has written five novels for adults and three for young adults. He is also a senior lecturer in creative writing at Leeds Trinity University.
