  • Summary

  • People often think poems are codes to be cracked. Is it possible to enjoy a poem without 'solving' it? In search of an answer we turn to David Fincher's 2007 masterpiece Zodiac, which is based on the true story of the serial killer who terrorised San Francisco in the 1960s and 1970s. Is there more to our hosts' cheeky suggestion that there are similarities between Zodiac's fondness for writing letters to newspapers and poets submitting work to journals? We find out with the help of poems by Billy Collins, Rimbaud and Harryette Mullen.

    Guest star: Diana Marie Delgado, author of Tracing the Horse, on Bram Stoker's Dracula.
