20. Sinéad Gleeson

It's our first INTERNATIONAL edition as we travel to Dublin to talk to author, journalist, poet and broadcaster Sinéad Gleeson. Sinéad is a powerhouse who has written essays and poems for a huge range of publications, edited various anthologies and hosted the Book Show on RTÉ Radio One. Her acclaimed new essay collection Constellations deals with the body in its various incarnations. We talked to Sinéad about poetry, horror, frogs and inappropriate literary crushes.
