Another episode with the lads yapping on about poems just for your enjoyment!
This one, we challenge some preconceptions that can sit in front of poets by talking about the whole Poet Laurete role and share some of Carol Ann Duffy's work.
We delve into the muddy fields of Seamus Heaney next, one of Ireland's most celebrate modern poets of our time. Who Ryan doesn't really get.
Daragh Fleming and Jessie Floods are our homegrown choices this week. Both beautiful writers, and we've handpicked our favourite poems from them.
Our Agony Aunt is all about making better plans around having stuff on at night, specifically about missing dinner. Ryan share's a poem about the loveliness of having 'stuff on', where Leon takes a more direct route to the issue with his poem 'Midnight Pizza'.
Get in touch with us with your poems via Instagram @thepoetrysdeadpodcast or email us thepoetrysdeadpodcast@gmail.com
Thanks as always for listening to us
Ryan and Leon
Correction - In the section discussing Carol Ann Duffy, Ryan introduces Duffy as the first poet laureate where he meant to say first FEMALE poet laureate.
