35 - Roy McFarlane
<p>Tune in to hear us chat about the legacy of slavery, erasure poems, Roy’s role as Birmingham’s poet laureate, Canal poet ambassador and Brighton Book Festival’s poet-in-residence, & more.</p><p>Watch this episode on <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/B1ByvxpVmKY">YouTube</a>.</p><p>“Living by Troubled Waters is the third poetry collection by <strong>Roy McFarlane</strong> – an extraordinary, uncompromising book exploring slavery, colonialism, and the continued tragedies visited upon Black bodies whilst these legacies remain unresolved. In his close examination of the horror of racialised violence, McFarlane examines how the strong currents of the past and present flow side by side. </p><p>His poems ask us to think about the Black Mediterranean of today as much as we do about the Windrush scandal and the aftershocks of trans-Atlantic slavery, where Black people are still imprisoned, enslaved and drowned as they flee persecution and poverty.”</p><p>This episode is sponsored by Fawn Press, a British independent publisher.

34 - Elizabeth M Castillo
<p>'Not Quite an Ocean' by Elizabeth M. Castillo is a paean to the feminine, to motherhood and to the natural world. At once these poems are both unabashed in their celebration of womanhood, and are searing in their unflinching confrontation with darker undercurrents that threaten to break and destroy. </p><p>The poems in 'Not Quite an Ocean' are beacons, are rallying calls, and are ultimately a roars of strength, pride and hope that cannot be silenced or subdued: To be woman is to be everything All things bound together and, if you can manage it that little bit more.</p><p>You can purchase Not Quite An Ocean on <a target="_blank" href="https://ninepens.co.uk/shop#!/products/not-quite-an-ocean---elizabeth-m-castillo">Nine Pens’ Website</a>.</p><p>Poetry To Your Ears is sponsored by Bent Key Publishing Fawn Press, two British independent publishers.

33 - Kathryn Millington
<p>In this stunning pamphlet of quietly moving and poignant poems, Kathryn Millington guides her reader through the grief that comes as a result of involuntary childlessness, an issue which can affect up to 1 in 5 women.</p><p>“You will know someone like me. We are everywhere: at your workplace, within your family, subsumed in your friendship groups. It’s such a lonely place. I want to inhabit that place and be that voice, to show that we can create.”</p><p>“Kate’s poems move me, make me laugh, make me reflect on this strange business we call life and feel more hopeful about navigating a path through it. These are tender, beautifully-crafted poems that work on the page and in the air. Read them, keep them with you.” Helen Mort</p><p>Poetry To Your Ears is sponsored by Write Bloody UK and Fawn Press, two British independent publishers.
