Poetry in Everything with Mark Fitzpatrick Part 1

Mark Fitzpatrick is an Irish writer, poet, literary scholar and professor who writes fiction and essays, and is preparing the publication of a Gothic fin de siècle thriller, as well as a book about myth. He's also an eccentric living on his family domaine in the Bordeaux region of France.  CW- swearing, mentions of substance use.
In part 1 we discuss how Poetry is in everything, and everything can be poetic. We wander through language, and cultural distinctions of the irish Diaspora, and what it means to be an irish poet living abroad. 

in part 2 we talk about how to get there, learn practical ways to enchant ourselves poetically, and discover what kind of muppet he might be.
