Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Zahrah Sheikh﻿ and Anna Kahn talk with Joshua Judson about his poem English Poem. We talk about balancing opinion and image, whether or not it's easier to make a sonnet out of something that already exists, what counts as England, which Englands we see and how they are shaped in poetry, adding lightness to a poem, and leaning in to the things we're really trying to say.

Episode 7: English Poem

Put 3-4 poets in a room with a not-too-drafted poem, lots of squash to drink, and occasionally some cats. See what they say.

Unfinished Edits is a poetry editing workshop run in Barbican Young Poet Anna Kahn's living room and then put in the internet (because her living room is too small for all of you.) We try to be generous and thoughtful editors, and sometimes we succeed.
