In this episode, Tara talks to Oxford-based children’s and adults’ poet Kate Wakeling (http://www.katewakeling.co.uk). By writing for a curious young audience, Kate’s work redefines what might be meant by ‘children’s poetry’. Her thoughtful, explorative poetry reveals the influence of collaborations with illustrators, musicians and orchestras. Here, she shares one ‘adult’ poem and one ‘children’s’ poem, showing how the lines between the two might become blurred and demonstrating her wider interests in music, grief and memory.
