Michael Rosen on getting better

Best of Today - A podcast by BBC Radio 4

The poet and author Michael Rosen spent 40 days on a ventilator in a medically induced coma after falling ill during the pandemic. Doctors dubbed him “Resurrection of the Year”. His new memoir, Getting Better, reflects not just on that experience but the immense grief that followed the death of his dear son Eddie, at the age of 18, from meningitis.
