I chat with poet and nonfiction author Jo Bell about her journey from archaeologist to poet to memoir writer, and how the three titles are intimately linked. We talk about writing and critiquing poetry, what a good poem does, learning to receive feedback, and building writing communities. It's really good.

S8E8 - The Ick
In this episode, I talk about the bits of a writing career that can feel a bit less natural, authentic or fun, why the feelings that arise are ok, and how we can move through them to get back to the magic. Hope you enjoy it.
