Listen "Jennifer Maiden launches her poetry book Appalachian Fall"
Episode Synopsis
The wonderful Jennifer Maiden joins me at Macleans Booksellers in Hamilton NSW for a launch of her new book Appalachian Fall, including a Q&A, 3 poems, and audience questions. The talk, which is opened by a reading from the introduction by Quemar Press publisher Katharine Margot Toohey, is wide ranging and explores such things as how the book came about, its inspiration, the relationship between poetry and political rhetoric, the bisection between the personal and the political, on the use of personae and humour in poetry, and lots more. The sound is quiet but the conversation was too good to let go, so turn up your speakers and enjoy. You can also grab the full transcript on Quemar's Commentary page here: https://quemarpress.weebly.com/commentary.html
