The Trouble with Overthinking, featuring Salena Godden

The Trouble with Collaboration, featuring Troy Cabida
It’s Troy Cabida (Neon Manila) day!
Troy Cabida is a London-based Filipino poet. He is a former member of the Barbican Young Poets and the Roundhouse Poetry Collective. Join Molly and Troy for a conversation about collaboration. We talk about the highs, the lows, and the things we need to have in place to make it work. We discuss collaboration as making something that ends up being more than the sum its parts (if all goes well), and about collaboration as being in community with other artists. We unpack how we might approach navigating and sharing that creative space.
Troy’s debut collection Neon Manila is published by Nine Arches Press, and is available now (https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/neon-manila-troy-cabida/7886030)!
This is the penultimate episode of season 3. Next week, we'll be doing a special Q & A episode. If you have a question you'd like us to discuss, please send it via Instagram direct message (https://www.instagram.com/makingtroublepod/), or email it here (https://www.mollynaylor.com/contact-1).
