    Jun 27 2023

    Jo Bell welcomes poet and publisher Jane Commane for a conversation about car factories, women in history and C60 cassettes. If the sound quality varies a little in this episode, that's because it was recorded in different locations. Sorry!


    Jane's collection Assembly Lines, published by Bloodaxe Books, is available here.

    Roy McFarlane talks to host Jo Bell about his journey to poetry, his faith and his new collection, Living By Troubled Waters. Sound quality is not great on this one because we had to do it by Zoom, but the words are still worth hearing.


    Poems and poets Roy mentions during our conversation are:


    John McCullough, Natalie Diaz and Mary Jean Chan - and the poems he reads are Langston Hughes' The Negro Speaks of Rivers and Nikki Giovanni's Mothers, plus Roy's own poem from the new collection, To The Heron Who Stood With Me In The Ruins of Another Black Man's Life.

    Three Poems and a Question asks well-known poets (and occasional celebrity guests) to share three poems, usually their own, and to answer a single question. Hosted by Jo Bell of The Poetic Licence.


    In this pilot episode we hear from Deb Alma, poet, editor and founder of the Poetry Pharmacy. Deb cheated, generously choosing two poems by other poets and only one of her own! Today's question: how has poetry helped you?


    Visit the Poetry Pharmacy website here.


    Find Deb's own collection, Dirty Laundry, here.
