Hear Rory Waterman describe his experience of being stuck in quarantine in Korea, where (as well as doing press ups) he used his time to begin his fourth collection Come Here to This Gate, from Carcanet Poetry. He tells us about Korea's DMZ, hilarious Lincolnshire folk tales, and we explore an exceptionally moving sequence about the death of his troubled father.
Also... Peter belatedly discovers the translation by Martyn Crucefix of Raine Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies. Spoiler: it is fantastic. And Robin remembers the hugely creative Ann Perrin who sadly passed last month (May 2024). Robin also uncovers these essential statistics: which insects are most mentioned in Haiku? Admit it. It's kept you awake at night, hasn't it?
