Since recording my last episode it seems that I contracted the coronavirus.

So here are some reflections on fighting 'The Rona', the silence of London's traffic-less skies, and the poetry of one of New Zealand's best writers, Brian Turner.

If you're feeling unwell or afraid right now, I hope this episode is an encouragement. You're not alone.

If you'd like to explore more of Brian Turner's writing, a good place to start is "Boundaries: People and Places of Central Otago", available from Penguin.

Music on this episode is by Chris Haugen.
