We, The Poets episodes

  • S1 E1: What Do You Want On Your Pizza? (Ft.Salena Godden, Charley Genever, Keely Mills & Mark Grist)

    Welcome to the electrifying premiere of 'We, the Poets'!


    In this inaugural episode, we have the absolute honour of hosting poetry powerhouse Salena Godden. Salena's kicking off her 2024 tour with a visit to our humble abode to chat Bowie, pizzas, and how to accept your writing and performing monsters.

    Salena also takes us on a journey through her latest collection, 'With Love, Grief and Fury,' only just released by Canongate.

    Get ready for a treat as she unveils two poems from hercollection - poems that Salena has never read to an audience before(!).

    Alongside the readings we delve into the nitty-gritty of Salena's creative process and daily routine, especially during colder winter months. We discuss identity, costume, balancing the energies of both poet and performer - and even how to navigate writing commissions without losing sight of our authenticity.


    Salena shares invaluable insights gleaned from her years in the literary trenches & this chat led to all three of us writing brand new poems!

    And if that weren't enough, we're thrilled to feature the captivating work of two additional poets—Lateral G and Sarah L Dixon—with two new pieces that we absolutely loved.

    Sure, we might still be figuring out how to work our cameras in the studio, but when it comes to unfiltered poetry goodness, we've got you covered.


    Welcome to 'We, the Poets'.

  • S1 E0: Let's Go! (Feat. Mark Grist, Keely Mills & Charley Genever)

    In our pre-series episode, hosts Mark Grist, Charley Genever, and Keely Mills sit down for a laid-back chat about their work, what inspired them to start 'We, the Poets', and what they're most looking forward to in the upcoming series. 

    Plus, they make an ill-fated pact to rock kimonos when Salena Godden joins the party for Episode 1—because why not?


    This episode is all about friendly introductions, laughs and a few home truths as Charley, Keely & Mark swap stories, share mistakes they've made and chat about the joys and frustrations of writing poetry.

    This is just the beginning of our white-knuckle ride through some of the UK's most exciting poetic talent & a great place to start if you'd like to know our hosts a little more.
