Hamnet Author Maggie O'Farrell, para-athlete Rosie Tennyson and park poet Patrick Kruse

Hamnet Author Maggie O'Farrell says she will always be a Derry Girl, Armagh para-athlete Rosie Tennyson and park poet Patrick Kruse.

Bestselling author of 'Hamnet' Maggie O’Farrell joins Anna to talk about her Northern Irish roots, her new book 'Land', and why you can take the girl out of Derry but you can't take Derry out of the girl!
Award-winning para-athlete Rosie Tennyson is some woman for one woman. After losing her leg, surviving cancer, and navigating some incredibly challenging health battles, the mum of five tells Anna how she has found strength in endurance sport.
And if a stranger asked you to sit and write a poem with them, would you? Patrick Kruse has been doing just that in Botanic Gardens. The Queen's University Belfast student joins Anna to talk about the challenge he set himself to write at least one poem a day with strangers over the next year
Plus the Songbook is full of classics to Soundtrack your Sunday
