36. Padraig Regan in conversation with Jessica Bundschuh (13 October 2022)
In their conversation with Jessica Bundschuh, Padraig Regan reads from old and new work and discusses Timothy Morton’s work on ecology. Padraig also discusses their scepticism towards the concept of ‘nature’, their interest in embodiment and how eating makes us confront the actual, material fact of our bodies; the landscape as a genre of image and how its grammar encodes our attitude to how we occupy the world; the egotism of lyric poetry; metaphor and metonymy; and the endings of volumes and poems.
