Episode 3 - Look up, here comes Icarus!

In this episode, Neil waves hello to WH Auden's 'Musée Des Beaux Arts' and considers how this poem still connects with the busy lives we lead. Also in the programme is 'Icarus', by the American poet George Bilgere, with a lesson to us all to look up from our phones.
