Poppy Jennings, a writer and artist who performed at this year’s festival with Lucent Dreaming and Goodparley (musician Oli Richards), reads her poem ‘Ars Poetica’. We discuss the path she took to fall in love with poetry, the intimate moments words can create between writer and reader, and the fact that poems can reveal hidden truths we didn’t know about ourselves.

Jannat Ahmed, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Lucent Dreaming magazine and marketing officer at Poetry Wales, reads me one of her own poems and we talk about her experience as a poetry editor, about how to make something new and, most importantly, how to make it heard.

Andre Mangeot reads from his latest collection Blood Rain (Seren) and we chat about how poetry can make us think for ourselves, about the growing need to be aware of what’s happening around us, and the art of transforming words into poems.
