Sharing stories from his past, poet, writer and presenter, Ian McMillan explores what kickstarted his life in writing. He teaches me about The Elusive Trout and how he uses parameters and daily rituals to keep honing his skills as a wordsmith. Ian steps into Poetry Corner to read The Computer’s First Christmas Card by Edwin Morgan and I follow suit with my own nonsense poem inspired by Andy Kaufman.

Beer, poetry and a foray into festivities with poet, playwright and actor, Ben Norris. We chat about Ben's success as a Poetry Slam Champion, ego, lockdown mental health and of course, his beginnings of writing poetry.

Emily Wilkinson
Coffee, biscuits and chat with artist and writer, Emily Wilkinson. We travel to Scotland (in our minds) as Emily talks about the catalysts and inspirations for her art... Covering landscape, nature, van-life, the changing poetry scene and a serious bout of writers block (PTPD). It's my turn to read a poem through a mouthful of yoghurt as I head into Poetry Corner with a classic sweet Müller.
