A few months ago I was on BBC Radio Sheffield reading my poem “A Woman Made From Burnish Gold” (first draft text).
They also wanted to interview me, which was fun. I should say I hadn’t really thought about what they might want to ask me (I assumed some poetry related questions) but even if I had prepared I don’t think I would have practised answering questions like “what makes you so amazing”.
I mean.
What is a God fearing Englishman meant to say to that?
I soldiered on regardless, enjoy.
