Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we discuss and get inspired by a Billy Collins poem. We look at depth and lightness in poetry, and how accessibility can get enemies. We consider having a persona as a poet and how this sits with authenticity. Coleridge gets a brief mention and we experiment practically with a 'welcome mat' poetry technique. We'd love to see your responses to this episode in our Facebook group.
