Summary
It's been a while since we had a little poetry splurge. So to rectify that terrible neglect of our duty, Tom and I had a lovely natter with Hollie McNish. We meandered through where her love of poetry began, how it helps her assimilate ideas, writing essays, and the Olympic Breakfast at Little Chef, Chieveley Services. Oh... and we also discuss her brilliant new book, Virgin. Buy it now... in fact, heck, buy all her books! ... right here We also bring you our regular feature Hypewriter, where we celebrate one of our listener's glorious bits of work. And what better to round off an episode about poetry, than a lovely, crisp little villanelle from Nichole Johnson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
