<p>This week Repeat Beat Poet is in conversation with poet, author, broadcaster, activist, and longstanding rabble-rousing doyenne of UK poetry, Salena Goddena. The pair reflect on Salena's career in poetry and literature, the inspirations behind her debut novel Mrs Death Misses Death, and have a good chat about the complications and joys of writing to and through an embodiment of Death; like how facing loss and grief can teach us how to live, love, survive, and fight for a better world. There's also chat about being a flaneuse, and writing while walking around mystical East London.</p> <p>We hear two readings from Salena -</p> <p>Pessimism Is For Lightweights - -0:35:19 (ISH)</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW0CnTXUjfc&t=58s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW0CnTXUjfc&t=58s</a></p> <p>[excerpt from Mrs. Death Misses Death.

The pair talk about navigating corporate spaces while maintaining integrity, the importance of orality and sound within self-expression, and how indigenous African peoples and systems of knowledge have guided Zena's work. The two poets also give some shine to Apples & Snakes, the UK's longstanding leading poetry organisation, discuss their involvement in the immersive climate cabaret show, Cece's Speakeasy, and highlight the artistic innovations that come from cross-artform collaborations.</p> <p>We hear two performances from Zena -</p> <p>Brother's Keeper - - 0:19:00</p> <p><a href="https://zenaedwards.bandcamp.com/track/brothers-keeper">https://zenaedwards.bandcamp.com/track/brothers-keeper</a></p> <p>Wood and Strings - 0:45:30</p> <p><a href="https://jazzrefreshed.bandcamp.com/track/wood-and-strings">https://jazzrefreshed.bandcamp.com/track/wood-and-strings</a></p> <p>Download a full transcript here: (COMING SOON)</p> <p>For more from Zena:</p> <p><a href="http://verseindialog.com/">verseindialog.com</a></p> <p>instagram.com/zena_e_poetics</p> <p>For more from PJ: linktr.ee/repeatbeatpoet</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/repeatbeatpoet">https://twitter.com/repeatbeatpoet</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/repeatbeatpoet">https://www.instagram.com/repeatbeatpoet</a>/</p> <p>For more from us:<a href="http://lunarpoetrypodcasts.com/"> </a><a href="http://lunarpoetrypodcasts.com/">lunarpoetrypodcasts.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/LunarPoetryPodcasts">www.facebook.com/LunarPoetryPodcasts</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/LunarPoetryPod">www.twitter.com/LunarPoetryPod</a></p> <p>Buy the 'Why Poetry?': The Lunar Poetry Podcasts Anthology here: <a href="http://vervepoetrypress.com/">vervepoetrypress.com</a>/product/why-poetry/</p> <p>Episode music is an original composition by Snazzy Rat.

<p>The terms hard-working and “jack of all trades” get thrown around a lot, but Sarah Callaghan really embodies the two. She’s been a comedian for over ten years with shows across the world from Australia to Austria, and she made the move into poetry when she used it as a tool to work through a difficult period of her life. Poetry was a space that allowed for what comedy didn’t; a space where messages didn’t necessarily have to be funny to be let out and to be seriously received by an audience. It gave her a space to speak more openly about mental health. We also discuss the importance of creative collaboration, share some performance stories, and the difficulties of navigating the trappings of social media. </p> <p>“You’re never gonna achieve greatness in your comfort zone.” - 10:20-11:26</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sarah reads two poems - </p> <p>23:35 - Beginning</p> <p>33:21 - It's Not That Deep</p> <p><br></p> <p>Download a full transcript here: (COMING SOON)</p> <p>For more from Sarah: http://www.sarahcallaghan.com/ </p> <p>https://linktr.ee/sarahcallaghan</p> <p>https://twitter.com/sarahecallaghan </p> <p>http://instagram.com/scallaghan1</p> <p><br></p> <p>For more from PJ: linktr.ee/repeatbeatpoet</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/repeatbeatpoet">https://twitter.com/repeatbeatpoet</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/repeatbeatpoet">https://www.instagram.com/repeatbeatpoet</a>/</p> <p>For more from us: <a href="http://lunarpoetrypodcasts.com/">lunarpoetrypodcasts.com</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/LunarPoetryPodcasts">www.facebook.com/LunarPoetryPodcasts</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/LunarPoetryPod">www.twitter.com/LunarPoetryPod</a></p> <p>Buy the 'Why Poetry?': The Lunar Poetry Podcasts Anthology here: <a href="http://vervepoetrypress.com/">vervepoetrypress.com</a>/product/why-poetry/</p> <p>Episode music is an original composition by Snazzy Rat.
