SERIES 3: EPISODE 2: Decomposing poems: Penny Boxall’s buried words at Wytham Woods.

Prize-winning poet Penny Boxall has spent the past year as writer-in-residence at Wytham Woods in Oxford, studying soil. The results - a series of decomposing poems - are her farewell gift to the woods: buried poems, submerged poems, and poems written on fruit. As Penny finishes her residency, Charlie begins her own at Wytham. On a sunny autumn day, they walked the woods together with spade and hammer, as Penny hid her year's work around tree trunks, in moss and in earth. 

Music for 'Calcite Eyes' from Replaying the Tape composed and performed by Jane Boxall.
