Pocketry Presents A Poetry Podcast
Pocketry Presents is the brand new poetry podcast that finds out what goes on in poet's minds and just how they deal with writer's block. Host, Indrani Perera, brings you interviews with established poets about their creative process as well as getting published, performing and winning awards. We also hear episodes in which established poets read their work and Indrani explains the techniques they used in their poem.
Twice a year in special Pocketry Almanack episodes you can hear the emerging poets published in the Almanack reading their own work as well as a message from the artists featured in the issue. You'll also hear some of the unusual words and intriguing stories that have been bartered for copies of The Pocketry Almanack.
