Sangharakshita - The Poetry Interviews

A series of ten personal interviews between Sangharakshita and Saddhanandi, reflecting on Sangharakshita's own selections from his extensive body of poetry.

Each interview in this series begins with a lovely reading of the poem by Saddhanandi, and is followed by commentary from Sangharakshita on the verses - discussing his inspiration, the meanings behind the words, and what the poem has to say about spiritual life and his own personal history.
