Daljit Nagra explores the BBC's poetry archive and selects two highlights.

Well here we are in September. And with a new month, comes a new Poetic Voice to feature as part of The Book Bag: Poetic Voices. This feature aims to platform and showcase exemplary work from writers I admire across the poetic landscape and runs concurrently with the regular weekly episodes of The Book Bag where I’ll still be sharing thoughts on pamphlets or collections I’ve read through the week. And this month, I am amazed to announce the Poetic Voice is the exceptionally talented prize-winning poet, someone I've read since starting my poetry journey, Pascale Petit.
