National Poetry Awards Commended Poet, Jo Haslam, plus atmospheric vocals from Ursual Glendinning. ‘A Lyke Wake for Auntie’ is a reworking of the Lyke Wake Dirge, a medieval Yorkshire lyric tracing the journey of a body and soul along one of the ancient coffin routes across the Yorkshire moors.
Join Fiona Russell and Jo Haslam for a discussion of the poem, plus a performance of the original lyric and some other songs – ancient, modern, all spooky – by Ursula Glendinning.
