S. Eliot; Fiona Green on a bold new collection of Emily Dickinson poems \\u2013 does it bring us closer to the reclusive poet herself?; and finally, we have a recording of the late Robert Conquest, a man best known for his groundbreaking work as a historian, reading his poem "The Rokeby Venus" in 1960.
