Oh how I love Greenbelt.
guest poem - spiders of misogyny
A few years, at the Greenbelt festival, a woman named Tasha told a story at one of our Tenx9 sessions. It was a fantastic story - full of insight. Since then, we've kept in touch, and I've read a few of Tasha's poems. I read her latest poem 'spiders of misogyny' and asked if I could put it up.
(Audio) Something Understood - In the Shelter of Each Other - BBC Radio 4, May 25, 2014
I presented the Something Understood programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning on the theme of the Irish seanfhocail 'It is in the shelter of each other that the people live" - "ar scáth a chéile a mhaireanns na daoine".
It was produced by the wonderful Rachel Hooper from Falling Tree. The audio and an outline of all the songs played and excerpts read is gathered on the BBC Something Understoodwebpage too, for about another week.
