Welcome to the first episode of A Voice Like This — a podcast where I read poetry aloud, not to explain it, but to let it breathe.

In this opening episode, I begin with a pairing that moves from gentleness to something far more fierce: the quiet resilience of Emily Dickinson, followed by the fiery awe of William Blake.

In this episode:

• Why Hope still sings in the storm
• A note on the archaic pronunciation of symmetry
• What happens when a poem doesn't give you answers — only wonder

New episodes every Monday, with the occasional bonus when the mood strikes.

Follow A Voice Like This on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you like to listen — and if something here speaks to you, I’d love it if you shared it with someone who might enjoy a quiet moment of poetry in their day.
