Our second preview podcast features the poem ‘The Telling’ by Carolyn Jess-Cooke from her Seren collection ‘We Have to Leave the Earth’. The reader is Carolyn Jess-Cooke and the poem was recorded on location at Carolyn’s home outside Glasgow.
The Seren Poetry Podcast is a new podcast dedicated to poetry and poets. Over 9 weeks we’ll speak to 9 poets and hear them read their work. We’ll talk influences, writing techniques and inspiration. Focussing on recent Seren collections, we’ll go in-depth with our poets on the themes they have chosen to write about and the people, events and other elements that have influenced them.
Recording on location in our poets homes, at Seren’s headquarters and from Wordsworth Grasmere, you’ll hear from some of the most important poets in the UK, each with an extended interview and a selection of their verse in high quality audio. We’ll speak to Polly Atkin, Kim Moore, Carolyn Jess-Cooke, Rhian Edwards, Eric Ngalle Charles, Ben Wilkinson and more.
The Seren Poetry Podcast will be available on all podcast platforms from 6th October 2022.
