HULL IS THIS editor Jerome Whittingham chats with writer and spoken word performer Michelle Dee.

Michelle shares three poems, all written recently: Routine, Ice Queen, and Mercy. She explains the inspiration and background to each.

We chat about the year in the arts, and reflect upon not just the challenges it has presented - but also the opportunities.

Michelle makes a recommendation for a wine to enjoy with bacon steaks.
