Chris's Two-Way Poetry Podcast is a brilliant series. Poets including Fay Musselwhite, Rob Hindle, Pete Green and others illuminating their own practice and those of others. This episode (Pt 1 of 2), with Brian Lewis & Chris discussing the links between their own work, is amazing.
In the latest episode of The Two-Way Poetry Podcast I talk to Brian Lewis about his memoir Last Collection in relation to my book of poems Little Piece of Harm.
