    David Van-Cauter, Simon Cockle and Jay Ward convene for the first time in 2020 to talk about and write poetry.  The theme this episode is Space - listen to the poets choose their own special space-themed poems, and have a go at writing one yourself.  This episode was recorded before the C19 outbreak, so you can hear people sitting close together (remember that?).

Eugene Narkozy ,

An intimate and interesting look at poetry

I really enjoyed this first episode. David is a really good host and I love the easy going nature of it. Plus the poems are wonderful, my favourite would have to be the wedding one near the end.
