Kevin Fegan explores the poetry to be found in heavy industry - and it doesn't come much heavier than steel. 'Blast' is the fictional tale of a retired steelworker from the Templeborough melting shop in South Yorkshire. After 40 years of dirt and graft, laughter and sweat, he is determined to enjoy his early retirement, even if it kills him. 'Blast' was first broadcast on Radio 4, then performed live over a week at Manchester Poetry Festival before going on national tour.
