Bliss | Happiness - with Jack Underwood

Jack Underwood, Robin Houghton & Peter Kenny

Season 1

Episode 5
Christmas is coming and we're feeling blissed out.... or are we? The title of Jack Underwood's collection Happiness makes Robin happy, but so do Christmas carols, and nothing is ever as it seems on the surface. Meanwhile Peter gets all lyrical about lights and the seasonal slow boat to Guernsey, and in an extended book reviews segment we chew over some of our favourite collections this year including John McCullough's Reckless Paper Birds, Ilya Kaminsky's Deaf Republic, Maureen N. McLane's What I'm Looking For and Caleb Femi's Poor.
Planet Poetry is a labour of love!
