Listen "Jacqueline Saphra"
Episode Synopsis
For this episode Tara talks to the poet, activist and agitator Jacqueline Saphra. Jacqueline has published several collections of poetry, but also believes in the power of poetry to debate the big issues and to inspire change. We discuss Jacqueline’s activism, her love of form – particularly the sonnet – and the idea that a poem finds its own shape. We also think about whether poetry can really make things happen.
