    Staring at the mark on the wall where that painting once hung? Wondering why the moon, seen by others, has been hidden from you? You've entered the world of Absence (Cheerio Poetry 2024) by Ali Lewis. He guides us through this exceptional first collection, from the painful ache of lost love, to the possibilities unleashed by running over a pheasant.

    Robin talks about poetry & walking, via Robert Frost's poem Acquainted with the Night. We also venture into the dark and terrifying beauty of Paul Celan, and read Celan's poem Todesfuge, Death Fugue. And we happen across Poetry Peter, Peter Smith, a fisherman and proto-performace poet in Anstruther and Cellardyke - and Peter Kenny reads one of his poems... excruciatingly badly.
