At b.b.c. To slosh Sheffield. B.b.c. Radio show. Good morning this morning we're going to be talking about a program. The race some fascinating questions about who's got the right to live. With a local artist who captures iconic if you imagine or in moments in music history Bruce Springsteen was spotted window shopping. When the Beatles performed live in front of the town hall. And on National Poetry Day I'll be asking May I borrow your wheelbarrow you'll have to keep listening to. The p.t.c. Monkeys I'm a believe it's 7 minutes past the radio shuffle and if you saw the programme on telly last night a world without Down syndrome but we talked about it on the Breakfast Show yesterday comedian Sally Phillips host of the documentary exploring the impact of a new screening test for the genetic condition her eldest son always got it. Well the film explores the potential consequences of the new and I p t the nipped test which will tell pregnant women much more accurately if their baby's got Down syndrome so we're concerned that it will result in most if not all babies with the condition being aborted how close we are getting to be able to screen for all sorts of other things it raises questions about how we decide who does and who doesn't have. The right to life well what if we could predict if a baby was likely to develop autism or Alzheimer's or depression in later life or be clever or pretty or athletic Well poor Critchlow set up the role the room organization for Down Syndrome a few years back he's doing Emily's got Down syndrome pulls in the studio with us today without m.l.a. She's been here before 2 of general she's she's a college today Roni busy on her catering course so yes she's thriving college so couldn't couldn't. You watch the program last night did she know she didn't. She watched the last few minutes which was I knew was going to be a flash mob dance thing going on so that was safe for us to watch I'd already had a preview of the documentary so I knew the issues that were coming up and quite honestly I want to protect Emily from some of those issues for as long as I feel she needs to be protected and she's not probably at the stage where she's got the understanding to be able to process some of those things I did begin to broach the subject with just to test things out a week or so ago knowing what was coming and as soon as I said to her that some people think the people with Down syndrome perhaps shouldn't live her eyes watered . And I just stopped at that point I faced changed. Just not I just didn't want to go there with she's not that's not fair which of those would like somebody to talk to about ourselves in that kind of way so she didn't watch it but you did I did so what did you make of it I thought Sally did an absolutely brilliant job. This documentary has been needed for years for decades if I'm honest Emily 24 had the document she needed making then society's understanding or representation of Down Syndrome has not changed dramatically in those 24 years yet the capabilities of people with Down syndrome has because of education because of early intervention programs because of because of better health care and I thought Sally's documentary was positive it was funny it was heartbreaking. I laughed I cried. And she dealt with it really well she spoke to all the major players in the. Process. And I thought she tried to represent things in a really balanced way. And I know from the feedback I've had through Twitter so many people were massively touched and it's really open people's eyes to see I mean a short interesting thing is you didn't learn things you enjoyed the program and you valued the program but you didn't learn things what was to be learned by people who were like you were 20 odd years ago because you knew nothing about it you say I knew nothing about him syndrome before I mean literally or so it's been a journey of discovery a journey of adventure a journey of joy. Emily has brought so much lights into our life and the lives of really everybody she meets and you just cannot put a price on that I think for some people watching the program who perhaps didn't know anything about Down's syndrome before it just boosts some of the myths Well Down Syndrome your myth. Told you at some point your daughter's got Down syndrome Yeah yeah well I remember that moment you still are sure you remember that that moment will remain with me for the rest of my life because I was 24 got one young daughter already 2 years old and. We knew straight away that there was something wrong Emilie was very floppy she was blue. Immediately the medical staff were kind of you know taking her off their oxygen and she if she just looked battered and bruised in the face was you know Puffy our eyes were kind of role in a little bit and in my heart I thought she was blind I thought this was what they were kind of going to tell us when they took it off to a room and. With a very serious consultants. And that was my fear that she was going to be blind and they said Down syndrome and I thought I've heard of that I have no idea what it is but I'm so glad she's not blind but obviously if she had been blind we've been able to cope with. But then it was a journey of discovery what he's down syndrome Well our 1st concepts about that was the consultant really not off all of the medical possibilities that could go wrong . And you know we were left kind of devastated that all of these things that you trust the medical profession that when they tell us something could go wrong then probably it's going to go wrong and they're just setting you up for it. But then we discovered that actually it's not really like that and over the last 24 years we've discovered it's really been nothing like that at all we had no local support group at that time so there was nobody other than the National Down Syndrome Association that we could actually go to to get a balance on some of of what we'd been told but really more than anything we wanted to meet somebody who had Down syndrome and find out what life was really like and we were fortunate to have find a local family who got a young daughter with Down syndrome who went to go meet them and actually we discovered I think Neal sneeze everybody's talking I'm running on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield in the talking that 17 minutes past 10 I'm with Paul Critchlow who's from there all the Morgan a zation for Down Syndrome and he's in the studio talking about the documentary Sally Phillips made that was on the telly last night called a world without Down Syndrome we're talking about it pulls child Emily his down he's now 24 years old is college student and postman telling us as it was the story of. A rival you didn't from your own account have any testing before we didn't for any of your children no we didn't we we just those kind of people who would not have terminated whatever the result of any test was so we didn't feel the need to actually go down that route to get any kind of diagnostic test would have meant a mere since he saw c.v.s. Which would carries a risk of miscarriage a new one to 10 in eldest Evelyn anyone taking any notice of the result all it would have done is in fact given a some information and probably worried my wife for the rest of her pregnancy and about what life might. Like. I understand that some people do like to know and during the rest of the pregnancy use that time to prepare for what's coming and that's fine that's that choice would you make about the new just the us little people to know yeah Ok so the Cincy Sisson c.v.s. As I say carry a risk of miscarriage they are diagnostic tests than it test is not a diagnostic test 97 to 99 percent. Certain say which for most people would give them a strong indication. But. Around all of that know if it happens earlier than an amniocentesis. And knowing that it's going to pick up more babies with Down syndrome. It's likely that the Down Syndrome population will begin to reduce as a result because we know that 9 out of 10 diagnostic tests result in a simulation currently So 90 percent of currently terminated to very few true and redound would be born and with the nits test picking up more cases earlier it means that on the same basis of 9 out of 10 more babies with Down syndrome will be terminated reduced in the Down Syndrome population which then begins to erode the societal value of people already living with Down syndrome in furthers the stigma of Down's Syndrome and it becomes less in the public eye and disability begins to disappear and what does that do to the fabric of our society to show that this is a fascinating bit of they are going to absolutely most many people would certainly say in Iceland don't know where they got figures of 100 percent or whatever yeah that the better if you know you've got a child the unborn child has got this he's better to terminate if there were no children with Down's born the world would be a better place and you're saying not well I say not so and. Hundreds and hundreds probably thousands of parents I've met over the last 24 years would say the same now that's not to say that life is easy it's not always but then again I've got 2 of the children and life's not always been easy with them . I'm perfectly honest I would say I think my son would forgive me for this that actually Emily's not given me the greatest problems that I've had of the earth . So you know being a parent is is a tough job what we're asking for is for better information alongside the test. Whether the existing test that happens or whether they introduce nets we're asking for better information about what it's actually like to allow the choice to live with Down syndrome so that people make an informed decision about what it's like to live with Down syndrome in 2016 other thing from your own account of the surprise news that your daughter had downed you under pressure what to do what at that stage well we didn't have the test but my wife when she said that she didn't on the tests came under pressure from the medical to hash tests to have the tests that they don't like it they didn't like it then scribble you know scroll across notes you know mother refuses testing the nurse said so were the time you do realize that you could have a disabled baby in such a judgmental and condescending way and really that's not the job of the medical profession 6 try and lead somebody towards a decision it's to provide the information to allow parents to make their own decision and that's what we're asking for and part of an online campaign called Future of Downs who are a collective of parents and family members just trying to get the balanced perspective about this whole situation is to teach been in touch with those to say my best makes them has Down's syndrome and Rowley's genuinely the nicest kid in the world we should ban all genetic engineering leave the forces of the natural alone forget creating a mad artificial ordered very scary world don't really want to comment on that one . I think the. Everybody's going to have their own. Outlook on this kind of thing and everybody needs to come to their own conclusion and it's about providing information which will inform those decisions so yeah every person with having so many people know somebody with Down syndrome. I didn't really know anybody until Emily was born at school that was you know you never saw anybody at school in those days but when you consider that people with Down's Syndrome weren't allowed legally to be educated or. Entitled to an education until 1970 they weren't allowed in mainstream school until the eighty's and was born in the ninety's and nothing I'm a young dad and kind of you know but. The eighty's in the mainstream school that's why we didn't see any when we went to school I want to assure one final question true that your bad mouthing on this radio program only a few minutes ago for being a difficult kid to bring up has himself become a father he has indeed got 2 young children. His youngest was born just over a month ago congratulations to you. Yeah he saw himself is in the is in the British Army I'm going to mess with. Canada at the minute so I know he's a long way away case not listen to this. Thanks so much for joining. Us to see radiation fields he's actually. a 1425612 and it will pull me just before 11 o'clock 6 p.c. Radiation fields to see radiation news headlines have to send ever I'd say.

Thanks very much the biggest stars we've seen but we don't know each of those big stars let me see them it's coming up to 60 minutes to b.b.c. Radio show. Still fits in and out of the news and stuff that's in and out of our lives one of the questions everybody's being us this morning is to help me celebrate National Poetry Day we had Agent point on this morning about a man a neighbor comes on and knocks at the door and says you will borrow and he in the poem has to come up with reasons not to I'm asking you to come up with the most creative excuse you can have not to lend your will borrow I want to bring it to out of boredom 427-9262 mine. Chris. Very generously but I think missing the whole point of the thing says this I would go my body will borrow as long as it comes but clean and on damaged of course you can. Pay says in response to my body you will borrow the. And there are all that's left is a rar row one of them together. Better reroute. Thank you so we collect those Please folks let's see your. Question or your Wilbur up in the company of on b.b.c. Radio show quest and we're told most of the news Colleen and her fiance have said they won't marry until same sex marriage becomes legal in Australia the singer and her partner Joshua Sask got engaged in February what do you think of that town and what do you think of the initially so I just went celebrity culture world and what does it really matter how to really go point this is going to tell you a bit more about the they are making a very positive stand on laws in Australia I don't know where the pair live or intend to live but I guess homeland I don't know where Joshua is from but may be relevant to him as well so Bella have the very sensible answer to that but you know I just quoted you know as you say that every culture and it's up to them and it's nothing but positive influence that she has that her following I think it's brilliant as a bisexual woman in a same sex relationship hoping to marry you know and I will be able to in this country if I wanted to I think it's brilliant to have someone like that stand up for my rights and say you know what I think this is rubbish that everyone can't marry and I know everyone has the same rights and the fact that you're actually having it on this rather than it just being an equal right for everyone it's I think it should be and I'm going to wait with marrying until it's everyone can I think it's brilliant and for me that's the really touching and. Brilliant thing and I respect hugely for saying that and when you were yourself oh well I mean so so I'm not from astray but yeah you could say so should I wait until everyone everywhere can marry me the question then. Get married when she. Porter you know I think you marry me would have been the way for. You to. Think it was your courage Oh yes was literally. Going to move on let me ask you about should there whether there should be more real women in fashion magazines because in the November issue of British Vogue magazine they're going to use academics and business women instead of models on the fashion pages and the editorial features for the 1st time that Emily Blunt's on the cover models will still appear in the adverts the editors said the difficulties she had in securing sample designing clothes for the non models for shoes made her want to explore what women wear through a real filter some of welcome the movie's a positive example of good work and of the state doesn't go far enough you're a reader of what you make of the story. Real people in magazines Surely that is those that are really going to create this fictitious world the documentary on the other week about the Vogue world was it was vastly removed from what we know it is now and we are seeing many many kids in schools now starts eating disorders from really early on and it's all to achieve this ultimate face body that's been airbrushed that they're not going to get because we are in the real world and it's creating awareness yet again about the damages being cost for people's mental health and well being and do we really want to achieve that perfection every day not fish not special. I think it's such an interesting topic and I think what I really picked up in what you were saying was the word filter I think we're seeing everything in magazines but what's the thing that's on social media I think more and more the pressures of what we should look like and that these filters you can put on on your pictures to make yourself look at all the time and then you post there and you sort of create this image at this is what I look like all the time and then you send out your follow ads and and they think that this is what your life is like and it creates a kind of skewed idea of what reality actually is like so yes that was how that in magazines and I think it's brilliant that they are doing this initiative in vogue and in the magazine I think that's fantastic that we can start to talk about what real women what every women all women can look like you know I'm not saying that the models are male movement but. But I think we need to look at social media as well and the impact that that has on us don't you doctor your own photos I did anything I posted a picture before coming here and it certainly has a filter on it yeah and some I'm. Sure you don't. Try to I'm going to try some in the middle of a river where my. Son would have to put a filter. To make it look as brilliant. In the streets of your field if not on radio in their final question would you like to be older than 25 everyone's read it it turns out that the scientists think we won't live any longer than 25 whatever we do next would you like to be $125.00 now if I'm the only $120.00 I. Would say we're all going to be downloadable soon in any case so our consciousness dropped into whatever we want. To experience world and I don't know are we going to become virtual existence people are already downloading them so I'm selling. You know the real budget probably never will probably. Thank you for coming in really. B.b.c.

I brought a selection of paintings for you travel Ok out. One of a few from my earlier exhibition called when the Beatles came to Barnsley which was an experience Boston Museum. 2014 so I'm going to. A print of The Beatles in their famous I'll be rolled stance walking across the crossing that used to be at the bottom of Market Hill. Kid I remember the course in quite well it's not actually there now and I was looking through. Pictures when I wanted to do a local themed painting and. Of course the iconic town hall the top of market Hill. Low and behold all I just happened to look at this picture of the crossing and immediately my one of my favorite album covers came to came into my mind the role going on for your love be great just to plan the. Most of that on it which is wonderful thank you. A pleasure. Mark thank you very much indeed Brooks in the studios of b.b.c. Radio show for the question for us is this Do you remember the time when Bruce Springsteen was spotted window shopping in the guy's a disco in bands Leo when the Beatles performed in front of the town hall rather like the picture on the coat that he was talking about them you might forgive him for missing such iconic moments maybe they didn't really exist but he's made him exist and he's with me now to talk about what he's doing he's got Springsteen and Lennon and McCartney and baggage and all the others outside famous bars the landmarks. This is the story of the book's Arctic submission He's currently at the Cooper gallery and Terry is with me in the studio now can we go back. Do you grew up in that you'll kind of place Terry he says yeah yeah born and bred in bonds let me have travelled around quite a bit. In the meantime bought always gone back and we seldom Bonds only a few years quite a few years ago now yeah I went to school in. Grew up there. In a kind of an iconic period really of music and. I mean I was always a huge pop are all over and I was always drawing something I was always drawing the Beatles on the Yellow Submarine and all that kind of thing you know and I grew up in that era of mobs and. You know the source of culture I was a model when I was a kid loved school and I cannae you know that I come at fashion so I've always I've always got in my mind you know the saw of. The themes of The Beatles The Rolling Stones and then more more later people at the Smiths and the Jam and all that kind I just love music when he said I just want to know them together with Barnsley as it were put on a well about. 5 or 6 years ago I was looking for something was a little bit different he seemed to me the themes of Bond's life were kind of a little bit boring the stuff I'd seen it all kind of you know watercolor painting and may be a portray pro trait of Kaz you know the light on the front here sticking 2 fingers up you know some of it I thought a bit boring so I was looking to do something a bit different. And the 1st painting I did was at the castle disco record shop all the young people of Bosley bought their 1st records from and we used to flock there on a Saturday morning to you know to get the latest records. Is now unfortunately closed so the 1st painting I did was called cus a disco 77 and he's got a punk young lad with a red Mohican and. Red Dot Martin but some looking in the window at all the records from here such as always heroes the Sex Pistols The Ramones Elvis Costello etc so you can see them out you know. And that was my 1st picture. Barnsley related and then the next one I did was The Beatles one and it seemed that one of them I mean in the house and it seemed that anybody that ever saw all of them liked them and you know that was sort of you know offer a milk ask me for to sell them here and look at hold of them and they can just spread from that you know. And it's funny actually because the Beatles was the when the Beatles came to be the one on the crossing was the one not becoming to carry him famous sort of a bit famous you know locally with going back many years to when I was about 14 years old I copied the Abbey Road painting sort of exit you know the exact copy and I had it painted in the classroom on the noticeboard because people would take pictures in postcards and stuff and put them on the notice here and up in this painting on the notice board I was quite proud of it and a lot was a bit older than me. It's not for sale he said I'll give you 50 and I said no no no it's not for sale it's not for sale anyway couple of days later it mysteriously. But they just. Same picture you know. Beatles. Brought into the studio to have a look at. But to have him. With these really. I. Want. You. To. Watch Oh. I am. Planning. On the big. 19 minutes past 11 we're talking on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield with Terry Brooks who's been talking about a mug with the Beatles only this new exhibition which he's talking about and we're going to talk about that as well. Which is part of your exhibition currently on. Yeah. Again because Pete people do like the the thought of the Beatles coming to Bond's life and this is a picture I couldn't actually fit into my original exhibition so I've got it in the new exhibition which is for call $45.00 r.p.m. At the Cooper gallery and it portrays an idea that I had to early on and it portrays the Beatles. In their. Doing their gig. It was actually the gig on the Apple rolled on the roof roof top of the Apple building you know and I've transferred it to. Opposite the town hall in bars on the top of what used to be able to feel in a store which is now walkabout So it's called. Back. And back to where I once belonged. And the town hall in the in the background sort of fun for playing there. Was this. Right well part of the exhibition we wanted to make Kate as I always do I like to make people smile when the come along to my exhibition I have a phone I don't want it to be at all. It boring and staid so my father in law. Really excellent carpenter I was having a word with him one day I said the theme of the exhibition is the modern subculture modern school parkas soul music can we build a school out of the f. Or whatever so he built the school to form. A painted it looked a lot like it as if it didn't come out of the pages of the be no pictures or that. We decided to have a challenge in the corporate gallery so I painted a painting of a kid on the school that stands at the back of the scooter in the gallery with a park. Helmet then we what the challenge is you come into the gallery. The park or on the helmet on you get on the school and you have a photo I think they start early and it's wonderful to exhibition One quick footnote this long picture here of pop stars or your generation's you said what an enthusiastic with a pop music I recognize almost everybody on that except for the figure right at the right hand side wall right over on the run some old dude I can see you know he's obviously there leading with their backs outside Frank bird's between Jackson music centers and Castro disco was a block with the blood Ok the guy with the blonde girlfriend.

Radio Sheffield at 7 minutes past 12 great diaper poetry on b.b.c. Radio show for a National Poetry Day just before the news we had a point about the Sheffield women of steel by Rachel she had written it specially for National Poetry Day She's joined me to talk about her life so far and the challenge is to keep rhyming for the next half hour now it's not really she's a relative newcomer to Sheffield came here 4 years ago when asked about that she came during the Black Berry season she supported these days she's had a string of tempting jobs including one of dressing up as a clown brush about how from you were a cloud storage there is probably something I should keep hidden I just I just had lots of temping jobs and I was young after I moved around all over the place and one of them has been a clown for Tesco so. I piled up my performance career and what did you have to do well the game is these kind of rugby outfits and just what I just kind of wandered around the professional clowns and jugglers and acrobats there and I just kind of wandered around. To write a poem about I didn't write a poem other I should write a poem about that is still I'm still processing it a bit too traumatic. To the early traumas of your life and you know about your childhood what kind of Promenade you come from. Aku from a lovely family. I spent a lot of my childhood kind of related. And been read stories to and. I guess my dad was a printer. Looked after us and then kind of did various jobs and I guess my apartment working class background I'm going to go back through my family as the 1st one to go to university in the family. So yeah I kind of feel quite calm in my heart and you know I know that we are not. Going to start writing poetry I've always written and I've always kind of written stories in poetry and I always used to be kind of scribbling away in. My books can you explain where that came from I don't know I feel like I just sometimes I feel like I have to write to think and to process stuff and I actually came across a story that I wrote when I was young not for long ago which was just it was pages and pages and pages of this bird. That kind of travels and then at the end of it. Going to start and they obviously it finished with what I needed to do there but I don't I think I right now when you write a scene in order to saying yes I do and I think I'm right when things are difficult I write my best stuff when things are difficult or when I find things painful are in just that's when I kind of feel the urge to write when you start kind of achieving things with it. And then performing it and yet that was that was actually more recent I've written my publishing kind of written academic work for longer. But in terms of my poetry I've been very shy about it and I went to this great workshop by a firm of poets which are a great organization and kind of just nervously did an open mike and and it was really great and people loved it and so I just started sharing things more and I want to. And outs of in Sheffield called us matters. And the name of that is really to encourage people to share because it will terrify me share your work for the 1st time. So yeah I just kind of went from there and then I actually recently likable. I'm working with like a booker and I've been working with him in Leeds have been really encouraging and go a long way and. Kind of said just aim for lots of rejections just. Think and don't be put off by rejection which everybody gets that so I start sending more things off and that's kind of how you think about yeah so in $400.00 rejections a year and then and then you know I don't. Know one day you get something yeah and yes that happened recently I got so this is little and magazine has surprised and you know these things that just I think it was kind of thinking about it. These days when you perform for us on the radio this morning yeah what was that what was the origins of the poem 1st of all the words to you Ok so there was inspired by the statue back as Pullos us to write a poem so much as his half of 5 pounds yeah yeah yeah right a poem. And it was kind of had to be celebratory I'm positive and I thought I want to tell the stories that we already know about Sheffield and I think that starts you hold a lot of heard stories that work of women in the war the statues commemorates only recently begun to be properly reckoned How did you kind of reckon go along and look at it for hours on end or take a photo you know I mean when he when he was put up in summer I went to visit with my kids and they loved it and I got a picture of them with it and actually I just knew that that's what I wanted to write about so I started writing about that but also about kind of the strength of communities in Sheffield today so for me the women of steel is also a metaphor for bringing together you know I think it's very powerful amazing women to feel I think a little bit of peace is up there just a bit because when you get a lot like that you think Oh. Yeah yeah yeah it just flowed it just kind of came from the women of steel I think it's got such a good rhythm that phrase it just I just I think it's been good to be on radio show for that point alongside the poll Herman also alongside from the studios of b.b.c. Radio show for the. Now you have chosen is a piece of music Get up stand up what you want to yeah yeah I find it difficult to pinpoint one piece of music but this is a song about Miley's song that. My son was singing in the shower when he was 2 and stand up for your rights and I just kind of made me think I'm really glad he said that song and I mean you know he I think that it's really important that I think of kind of education from my family and about kind of the Atlantic slave trade and things that that is not taught in schools and that you know things that we don't necessarily have as much as we should about so I think yeah he's an important time to stand up for our rights in the rights of other people as well. Get up stand up as choice of music has. To appropriate for your friends on b.b.c. Radio show for richer or.

The love of my life got a job here Sheffield Hallam So we followed the money basically I was really unsure about moving you know Sheffield or for him not really there had I had a really good friend here who's been amazing and but I just love it you know I feel really at home it feels like my place my land my you know I'm for kind of from it felt a bit like coming home. As a 1st university does it feel like Edinburgh as well yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah just kind of yeah the hills and having having the greenhouse in the city is what Yeah I really love I love that about Geoff and I love that about Edinburgh as well where did you meet Jake. My chicken fried foods we were at school together in the same clash sometime yeah we went we kind of went out for a day one with yeah and I own ceremoniously don't. Want to see it's Philadelphia I'm going ice skating and then and he was a major issue Yeah sure a little. Girl I got yeah and then we kind of yeah got back together after school after school after we kind of finished our a levels and went to different universities and then we did a year in Amsterdam and he was in Russia studying Russian So we met all over in my . First love as well was he who you want to get out a bit more. Like your poetry Yeah he's been really supportive it's really supportive my poetry supportive of. The arts night that I don't you know I am yeah host that night and I sort of got this at the theater deli half 7 and that's the end of that is to be kind of Chris a part of space in which people can share their work but there's loads of fantastic poaching nice and events happening and Sheffield is young people's network and the word lifestyle from guerrilla across South Yorkshire so I think it's really you know it's good to business Yeah yeah well I'm glad about all the blood you welcome to Sheffield 4 years ago was about you and the black bridge yet when I arrived I guess it was a moment of I was almost I was about to give birth and I write in to really know anyone in and it was the moment of the blackberries and we just I just really just released it stuck with me that kind of the color of the puppies and eat him up ways and every year we make the the house where I was live in a big black berry bush is down down the road and we pick lots got told off a bit by some people and well yeah so every year oh no blood there isn't Bradford you know well I'm sure they do but I've never said I came well Cambridge you know maybe they were just over a bit too soon it was a bit dry Yeah yeah it's just something that every year you. Was around I think you're Every year I feel even hear you talk about Jake what and you talk about the boy of yours who loved Bob Marley you lost a child and yes yeah I did which is which yeah was really difficult and something that I kind of want to talk about and want people talk about in the dark about so I hadn't missed Miscavige and had a few miscarriages but the 1st child and I was pregnant with I had a miscarriage which means that to lose a child after without the no into your body doesn't recognize that you're not pregnant anymore so I went to a scan actually in Canada and found that out there was no heartbeat and and it was really devastating and it was a really difficult difficult time. And and I'm writing about that the moment writing a collection on kind of pregnancy and an issues surrounding that that we don't talk about with banks 3 hours in Sheffield where I'm a poet in residence. And and and one of the things I found the most difficult was coming back and trying to talk about its people and people didn't want to upset me so we wouldn't talk about it when I did talk to people I don't know it happened to loads of people and I just felt like the more that we share these things the stronger we are and the easier things are to. The easy ways to heal I guess and the and the stronger we have to learn from what hope to heal. I well I went to Katz counseling and that was really helpful just been open about that and especially trying to just work through what it meant that people didn't want to talk to me about it I guess it was a process of grief come to terms with for them or for you I think for both where they actually when I kind of realize that people have their own issues and sometimes don't talk because of that are and also they just didn't want to upset me but it was so I was already here was that you know so trying to trying to act normally I found the hardest thing in f.l. It is this divide and I was walking out as 2 people person had to function. And the person who had this big loss and I didn't know whether I would be a parent ever and so it didn't just feel like the loss of that child it felt like perhaps the loss of the possibility of being a parent. So I'm still sad about that you write about yourself yeah I do I do have written about it I wrote a poem that was long listed for a prize actually and I kind of feel like it's really important to write about to try and share things through poetry not just for me but just so that more people read I guess I wrote something about breastfeeding recently that was shortlisted and Prize and I've got friends you've had babies recently found it really have said that to them and they find it helped you know I think I was talking about my daughter Megan celebrate the only way you saying it yeah it's really hard but nobody talks about those things oh it's talked about less and women's bodies are kind of just passed around to circulate in society in a way that. Doesn't allow for this kind of honest exchange sometimes so and I'm I'm now I mean I've got great great friends and female friends and kind of circle of women and it's just amazing I think that we can look after each other make it to the stronger by sharing and being honest and open about things that are difficult and painful as well as things that make us happy. People. Whose point was on the radio show for a little earlier on this morning we're celebrating poetry all day because it's National Poetry direction if you were writing your life story at the age of 36 we asked everybody this and we ask a poet to do it in the poet couldn't come up with wanted to go. Because there was no money involved. And really there's never any money was never. You come up with a title for the story of your life so far Ok well you know I found this really really hard and I'm kind of I think I love the debate at the moment I love to talk and rhetoric around immigration is toxic and I was her I feel I feel kind of inspired by the hope not marring common type. Phases I think I might go for We've learned to be less than we are we've learned to be less than we really are because I think that this site if we live in particular for women and for other for the people who are marginalized kind of teaches as what we're supposed to do and how we're supposed to look and how we're supposed to act what we supposed to say and with brilliant kind of shining human people so I'd like to humanize things to say to him we we have learned to be less than we really are a little piece not. The best title today I know it's a poem in itself and it's full and riddled with meaning and trip to words it's thank you Rachel it's been lovely talking with you help us now you can expect this one we are celebrating National Poetry Day by continuing the point of age and rituals that we've been quoting all morning which is got a line in it may I borrow your wheelbarrow so I go like this my arboreal will bow and you have to refuse to play the way and got in touch to say no it's full of fish and bicycles that was his reply I'm going to ask you on National Poetry Day.

Radio Sheffield 22 minutes to one while I suppose the question is what drew Ma I have to say about poetry he's National Party day today and to celebrate it we've been asking you to answer the question man or you will better and we've got some brilliant answers why we asked it because broadcast under a rock came on a little earlier on in the morning and I spoke to him just before I came on air he's written a book called We British the poets of the people and I asked him if he could remember the 1st boy he'd ever and the 1st poem I learned was probably a bit of Henry the 5th. The bit about charging into the gates of the French that is all you know and all that stuff you ask me if I can remember it and of course I can go. I will later on in the interview why did you decide to write about the poetry of British people what's the idea so this country has the greatest and richest poetic tradition of any major country in the world I would say and my idea was if you looked at our history in our story through the eyes of poets rather than historians or politicians whatever. Would it look and feel very different and the answer is It feels completely different and you see ourselves in a totally different way because it's not just that the famous poets going to talk about daffodils and clouds and whatever it's all across Britain you have really really interesting talented people writing about their own areas and writing about daily life and you just get a totally different sense of the country and you can probably ask me about Sheffield I imagine Well I think I will do another something else here tell me about Sheffield that so many thought back in the early days of the Industrial Revolution was a Filemaker and he was born in a place I don't know if it still exists in Sheffield called kak alley. And he wrote a really really angry poem against the king and pro reform and proto great revolutionary Thomas Paine and he wrote also a pretty hideous poem called Sheffield the black about what Sheffield was like in that really roughest days of the Industrial Revolution so if you want to know your early Sheffield history go back to Joseph Maida and as an example there were examples from you know Birmingham Gloucestershire every part of England and Scotland and Wales of course and have you included him in your collection then I certainly have yes I can I can give you its kind of root for Sheffield. That 1st verse of Sheffield the black where slowly down the river runs of dark complection like it's crooked sons in a fair country stands a filthy Tyrone by bugs and butchers held in high Reno in Sheffield the black in ugliness Supremes yet ugly Sheffield is my Jackie theme and so it goes on. And you were the B.B.C.'s political editor at one stage in your career you were reading a poetic poem the political power and they're actually in many ways who are the most poetic politicians that you've come across most poetic politicians well in the old days they did read poetry can clone. Michael Heseltine some of the old Neil Kinnock has a really strong seam of poetry running through him he's very very good in the old revolutionary songs like Dandiya Ross and so on Michael Foot probably Labour's least successful leader was a real lover of Lord Byron and lots of radical poets Dryden and swift and so on he could he could quote poetry these days to be honest they're brought up in political back office seats and trade union headquarters and so forth and they're much less poetic than they were and you think it's a race they were a bit more about your ego yeah a bit more poetic we might get better politicians when it's a fantastic story of a language and virtue peroration and if you really want to hammer somebody and you want to make your point then why churn your back on these wonderful store or you know as I say I go and argument which is British poetry I'm trying to think of good examples but you know there's there's the great Adrian Mitchell who is probably the angriest. And most effective poet of the left in my lifetime and the stuff that he writes is I mean I think that it's in this book as well and it's really really difficult to read it's really it's more impressive than any Corban I told momentum speech over here yeah he did something for us in radio chef and it was from his about not long before he died and he would have still a very angry older man but the store for the game and it was extraordinary what about then David Blunkett writes poetry incidentally not really he's made the anthology has a I'm afraid story David if you're listening I'm afraid you haven't but that's probably my ignorance not nothing else I'm going to give and tomorrow your choice you can either do your head or the 5th recitation which mind that but with the coming back here or you can rescue a poem I'm going to rescue a poem by Adrian Mitchell called 10 ways to avoid lending your wheelbarrow to anyone I can read the whole point it's quite long and also bits of it are too rude even for. But it starts off number one patriotic May I borrow your own. I didn't like done in World War 2 So you could borrow my people borrow to snobbish. Unfortunately Samuel Beckett is using it. Is reserved for religious ceremonies. I would sooner be broken on its wheel and buried in its barrel and so it goes on. And it's basically a poem about how we are a very very snobby and private lot a bit selfish about our stuff. When I was a young girl and I wrote what I thought was looking back on it now it is so overwhelmingly appalling that as a kind of service to the entire nation I have stopped and never published a line. Morning revealing that. Spied him to make up excuses to the question may I borrow your wheelbarrow on National Poetry Day. And would know about that the great postman put but I think it's. Rather a. Move The Eagles take an easy b.b.c. Radio shuffle 12 minutes to once the time Little Bob him which is always more than pleasure to nice means mine didn't and we've been asking people it's morning about completing the sentence My arboreal will about got to sound effect to help and may I borrow your wheelbarrow has the top broadcast who did that for us may I borrow your Wilbur. You know why not because I'm using it to shift some paint through the house into the garden. Why shift your brain to the have a record of a play or week because I got it cheap and I think I'm going to pay it fences Yami French if you know to I need a new one actually some money will Barrett said somebody came round the house and removed the thing at the front of the wheelbarrow No I didn't want to take offense it was what he said. Actually you are getting better at you're. Right this afternoon we are going to be talking about energy with John Graham we've had a boiler fitted in the last couple of months so I'm I'm feeling quite confident that not only don't tread on ground just said to me what you probably said to Sally and what my fella says to me postpone job loss. The very thing this very orderly disgraceful behavior and we're going to speak to Debbie Howard this is after 3 o'clock about a film she's made called still loved and it's about the quite difficult subjective child death baby death really when the baby stillborn or when you miscarry and one of the things she's done in the film I'm going to ask you about this because I was watching it this morning and I found it quite upsetting I'm going to be honest is that she's filmed some of these babies and some of these babies that have died with their siblings so with their brothers and sisters and I don't know how I feel about that really upsets me and there's a there's also one of the scenes is of a woman who lost a Twins think 21 we saw the very young these babies and there's a picture of them as well so I don't know I don't know how I feel about all of that I mean our step to Howard the director washee decided to put that in because I think it's a very very sensitive thing to talk about anyway and it doesn't seem appropriate to talk about rewind after that really serious stuff but look at the one thing you and Dean Martin the foundations and Kloden Rogers who are in the charts I'm listening to that interview yes 10 minutes to one from. The Roger. Leg. Told me. That his. Legs. Look Like. complete the sentence by our bar your with. Us.
