Collaboration | Undercurrents - with Joolz Sparkes & Hilaire
Show Notes

Ding-ding. All aboard! In this episode we ride a big red bus into the heart of London's hidden histories.  Robin meets poetical dynamic duo Joolz Sparkes and Hilaire whose beautifully researched collaboration London Undercurrents gives voice to women at pivotal moments in their lives. We catch glimpses of criminal forgers, a clippie tasting heady freedom as she traverses the Thames and a girl dreaming of football glory.

Meanwhile  Peter absorbs the A4 format delights of  PN Review and The Rialto pausing to read a poem by Tim Craven while  Robin revisits Ian Duhig's spellbinding  poem The Lammas Hireling
