I hope you can tune in. If you like poetry out loud, you might enjoy a couple of blokes chatting about it, making connections with other poets and artists and just taking some time to be alive with some good lines, this is for you.
Tune in Tuesday wherever you podcast your podcasts or at inthreepoems.com, as I chat with poet and educator @mitchnobis.bsky.social about bad driving, nature loving, and gun violence, all wrapped into discussion in which we team up to read three poems.
