Tennyson 200.

Series in which contemporary British poets choose a single poem or extract by Tennyson and give a personal account of why it means so much to them. 2. Welsh poet Gwyneth Lewis discusses Tennyson's poem The Kraken - a legendary sea-monster inhabiting the 'ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep' of the unchartered ocean, which, when ultimately it rises to the surface, is destined to die. She finds surprising poetic inspiration in this short, intense and unforgettable work. Reader: Simon Russell Beale.
