Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stewart Henderson is a poet, broadcaster and songwriter. The Sunday Times described his children's poetry as 'essential reading'. He presented 'Questions Questions' for ten years for BBC Radio 4, and has originated and presented many social history documentaries for BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 2, and BBC World Service. Stewart has also presented, and contributed to some of the BBC Radio 4's 'crown jewels' such as From Our Own Correspondent, Pick Of The Week, Something Understood, Broadcasting House, Saturday Live, PM, iPM and Four Thought. His documentary,'The Holy Fire', made on location in Israel, won the Jerusalem Radio Award for Best Feature.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Liverpool-born Stewart Henderson is a bestselling poet, broadcaster, and songwriter. A Poet's Notebook comprises 21 of his poems preceded by an engrossing commentary on the sources and development of each. The book features a rare combination of poetic journal, travelogue and cultural almanac complete with the poet's trademark humour and pertinent observations. With reflections on Emily Dickinson, C.S Lewis, Malcolm McLaren, P.G. Wodehouse, and maritime Liverpool, alongside accounts of personal encounters with Malcolm Muggeridge, Madeline L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time) and Alastair Reid, A Poet's Notebook is primarily an examination of our collective, restless soul as we ask: how did we end up here? This is British wit and poetry at its best.
