Welcome to the electrifying premiere of 'We, the Poets'!
In this inaugural episode, we have the absolute honour of hosting poetry powerhouse Salena Godden. Salena's kicking off her 2024 tour with a visit to our humble abode to chat Bowie, pizzas, and how to accept your writing and performing monsters.
Salena also takes us on a journey through her latest collection, 'With Love, Grief and Fury,' only just released by Canongate.
Get ready for a treat as she unveils two poems from hercollection - poems that Salena has never read to an audience before(!).
Alongside the readings we delve into the nitty-gritty of Salena's creative process and daily routine, especially during colder winter months. We discuss identity, costume, balancing the energies of both poet and performer - and even how to navigate writing commissions without losing sight of our authenticity.
Salena shares invaluable insights gleaned from her years in the literary trenches & this chat led to all three of us writing brand new poems!
And if that weren't enough, we're thrilled to feature the captivating work of two additional poets—Lateral G and Sarah L Dixon—with two new pieces that we absolutely loved.
Sure, we might still be figuring out how to work our cameras in the studio, but when it comes to unfiltered poetry goodness, we've got you covered.
Welcome to 'We, the Poets'.
