Episode Four

This is the fourth Episode of Poetry Worth Hearing. An important theme this month is the notion of collaboration and cooperation, between poets and between poets and artists from other disciplines. We have a project curated by Diana Sanders which brings together several poets, musicians and sound artists to present poems own soundscapes. Romola Parish and Sarah Watkinson read a shared poem which is part of the pamphlet they wrote together celebrating Wytham Woods, the Oxford University ecology research station.  Viola Michely and Bill Jenkinson share with us the process of translating a poem from German into English.  We also have a number of exciting individual poems by Claire Cox, Jennifer A McGowan, David Ratcliffe, Trisha Broomfield, Steve Xerri and finally, a selection from Jane Duran's recent collection, the clarity of distant things, Carcanet, 2021. Texts of poems and more information about the poets and the podcast are available on poetryworthhearing.biz. Submissions of unpublished work in recordings of no more than 4 minutes should be sent to [email protected].
