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.
Planet Poetry is a labour of love, paid for out of our own pockets.
