Tales of Unrequited Love, by Anna Hobson.

Our latest podcast is a selection of poems from the collection, Tales of Unrequited Love, by Anna Hobson, performed by the author.Anna tells us, "They are inspired by dark humanity; by the shifting seething turmoil within; by the sparks created by collisions of character. I write about love, pain and heartbreak; about blind instinct, manipulation, and the selfish guzzling of emotion."Music is copyright John Hobson, from the album Wireless.Anna established the group Oxford Creative Writers in April 2010 as an informal setting for local unpublished authors to discuss their work.
