About the show

Poetry is pleasure which reaches the soul. It reveals, disturbs, stirs, revives. Anyone who has read, and lived, a poem is a person who has been touched inside out. But how often have we read a poem and wondered about the poet behind those words. Who wrote those poems which we love so much? What did they go through in their lives to enable them to write the words which  touch us and make us better persons. Welcome to Red River Sessions, India's podcast of poets & their poetry. Presented by Uncut Poetry, the poetry podcast, & Red River, the acclaimed independent poetry publishing house.
