Very happy to be back with Ellen Cranitch in the Pickle Jar.

She is a poet and lecturer. Her first collection, The Immortalist, was shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney Award for Best First Collection. Her new collection, Crystal, was published by Bloodaxe, named “Dignified, moving and sure…" by The Observer where it was named book of the month, it was also recommended by Stephen Fry and Ian McMillan.

Today she brings a Prynne Poem into the Pickle Jar and we speak of line breaks, intensity and the importance of syntax.
