Did you ever repeat a word so often that its meaning ebbed away? Or look so hard at an object -- say a glass of water -- that it began to hint at unknowable mysteries?  No? Then you should join us as we meet Greta Stoddart and hear poetry from her new Bloodaxe collection Fool which will take you to an extraordinary place in your imagination where 'nothing might be what is called for'. 

Meanwhile Robin and Peter, invigorated by talking to third year creative writing students, reflect on the current complexity of the publishing landscape...  and wonder if the stigma that once attached itself to self-publishing is now obsolete. Plus we pop across the English Channel to discover the poetry of Guernsey-based poet Richard Fleming.
