Can graffiti be deep and meaningful and beautiful? Or is it always a public nuisance?
In this episode, I found out that not all graffiti is equal. I spoke with graffiti poet Leslie Reed about why she uses public spaces as her canvas, how she gets inspired and the public perception of her poetry.
Tune into this episode to hear about:
- How moving country kickstarted Leslie's life as a poet
- How her poetry helped her process her feelings post-divorce
- Her creative process
- Her auditory muse and how this impacts her
- Why she uses fence posts and sea walls as her canvas
- The reactions she gets from the public about her graffiti
- The impermanence of her poetry and how she memorialises it
- Making her Graffiti Poetry photo book
Happy listening!
