In this episode, Emily Oldfield will be giving us a short introduction to Writing Poetry of Place.

In particular we will explore:

• Winter Hill and other edge-land spaces

And we will also get a reading from Emily’s new poetry collection, Grit, which was published in March with Poetry Salzburg. Find out more about Grit and buy your copy here: http://www.poetrysalzburg.com/
