What a very moving episode. As well as emotionally moving, it also shows how a very difficult topic can be handled well and, because of that, be much more moving. At the hand sof a lesser poet, a poem about rape, dealing with rape, would become a shrill, Lesbian rant full of hoots and screams, but this one wasn’t. And it’s such a delight to hear an educated, softly spoken, articulate woman these days. As a regular listener, I’m a bit spoilt because you seem to get them on every couple of weeks, yet it’s still so rare outside of The Drunken Odyssey that it can still brighten up a drab Australian autumn morning.
