All right? This month, we were absolutely delighted for King Ink stalwart Pauline May to launch her first poetry book. Planets, Plants and the Taste of Salt explores Pauline’s relationship with her parents, and one of her sons, Sam, has also provided some music for this episode.
From our open mic legends this month we have The Weaver of Lydia by John Appleton, Sorrow’s Kin by Helen Rogers, A Melange of Aggregate by Hester Dowling, and A Hollow Underside by Jack Wallace-Hunter. And from Pauline’s book we have Grinding the Lens, Reasons for Bending, and Dirty Hands.
Thanks, as ever, to Pop Recs for hosting us, to Pauline for launching her book at our event, and to our heroic hordes of contributors. Toodle-oo!
King Ink's podcast is hosted by Helen Wilko and produced by James Whitman.
