The second part of Siân's interview with Sussex-based writer Joanna Nissel whose debut poetry pamphlet Guerrilla Brightenings was published by Against the Grain Press in 2022. Joanna reads from the pamphlet and talks to Siân about her love of the chalk paths and landscape of the Sussex Downs and how the Covid pandemic inspired in her the unexpected outburst of creativity that became Guerrilla Brightenings.
In this episode, Joanna reads further poems about the pandemic, her childhood and her late father, and tells Siân about her PhD research into mentoring within higher education and the wider culture of poetry.
The Poetry Bath's theme tune is composed and performed by Nigel Horn.
