What a shining star of a human Jazz Money is. A great pleasure to chat with her about her book of poetry "how to make a basket". We talk about lower case letters, fonts, formatting, and creative practices. Felt pleased as punch to have two excellent readings in this chat as well! Enjoy and make sure you order your copy of the book, the layout is a piece of art in itself. 

RN host, all round lovely person and author Jacinta Parsons and I chat twice in the space of forty minutes (well, really over six months) about her excellent book Unseen, as well as her chapter in the collection of essays by disabled parents We've Got This (edited by Eliza Hull) which will be out March 2022. Jacinta shares her picks for best read of the year as well as what she's currently reading. 

Launchtime9000! Jenny Valentish is launching her absolute cracker of a book Everything Harder Than Everyone Else at the Port Melbourne Bowls Club on Tuesday 30th of November, 2021. Get along if you can.

Thanks to Monique Boggia for the tunes, you're the best.

Next time - Jacinta Parsons and her book Unseen.

Welcome to the first full episode of Slow Reader. I had the pleasure of speaking to Dr Kaya Wilson not once, but twice. His memoir As Beautiful As Any Other (Picador) was the book that got me back in the saddle of reading after a long hiatus. 

My sincere thanks to Main FM and Sherene Clow, host of Queer and Now for allowing me to use the audio produced for the program as part of this episode. Also to Monique Boggia for the music composed just for Slow Reader (such a legendary babe), and to all my Facebook friends for allowing me to have a meltdown about audio production. I forgot that I hate that part, I just like the chats, so if there are any masochists who would like to do this job for me please do get in touch via Twitter or Instagram @JasperPeachSays

Next time I'll be joined by Jenny Valentish, author of Everything Harder than Everyone Else (Black Inc).

Hi I'm Jasper Peach, and I'm a slow reader. I'll be sharing interviews with writers, readers and other literary folks when I can. 

I love audiobooks, because I can process auditory information much more easily than the visual. If the author has read their own work, even better. Recorded on unceded Dja Dja Wurrung Country, which should rightfully belong to the Jaara people.
