Your Imagination Is The Most Important Thing About You - Life of Words #1

What if your imagination is the most important thing about you? In this first episode of The Life of Words, I look at why imagination lies at the heart of reading, writing and the lives we make for ourselves. Through Homer, Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas and W.B. Yeats, I explore how stories begin, why poems stay with us, and how language shapes the way we think, feel and remember. Whether you're a writer, a reader, or someone curious about language, this episode is an invitation to discover the hidden life of words. Every word has a history. Every story begins somewhere. And your imagination is one of the greatest creative forces you possess.
