Oppression | Optimism - with Tishani Doshi

Tishani Doshi, Robin Houghton & Peter Kenny

Episode 5
What's that knocking? It's the multi-talented Tishani Doshi, sharing her Bloodaxe collection A God at the Door. You'll hear supple, powerful poems fuelled by a controlled rage at the continuing oppression of women, blended with a playful optimism and dazzling ability to weave history, contemporary politics, and vivid imagery.
Plus Peter bites the AI bullet. Can Chat GPT be useful for poets? Or is AI the poet's nemesis? Robin emerges with a little colour in her cheeks, having read Bad Kid Catullus the 'filthsmith' Roman poet as re-imagined by innovative small press, Sidekick Books.
