Draft and redraft (and redraft) with Groundhog Day Poetry Goes to the Movies

    • Books

Bill Murray found himself stuck on repeat in 1993's Groundhog Day. Can being forced to relive the same day give an insight into the redrafting process? We also have a think about why light verse and film comedies don't get the respect they deserve. And there's a little look at Bill Murray's well-publicised love of poetry. Look out for poems by Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Emily Dickinson, David Berman, Wendy Cope, and Marianne Chan.Guest star: Emma Hine, author of Stay Safe, on When Harry Met Sally and Jaws.
