We would like to thank Wordsworth Grasmere for hosting three of our interviews in the first series of The Seren Poetry Podcast. We recorded our chats with Kim Moore, Ilse Pedler and our opening podcast with Polly Atkin in the Learning Centre at Grasmere.
In this special bonus edition we chat with Melissa Mitchell, one of the curators at Wordsworth Grasmere about the centre, its work and its relevance for modern poets and writers.

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, as we’ve heard in this bonus edition, at 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.
