Another brand-spankingly new episode of the Pickle Jar. This week we speak to Charlotte Ansell. Charlotte performs her poems regularly and her work has appeared in Poetry Review, Mslexia, Butcher’s Dog, Prole, Algebra of Owls and various anthologies; most recently ‘These are the hands’ – an anthology of poems by NHS workers. She has won various competitions (Red Shed, BBC Write Science competition in 2015, Watermarks in 2016, commended in Yorkmix in 2016 and shortlisted in the Poetry in film category of the Outspoken prize for poetry in 2017). Her latest collection Deluge was a PBS Winter choice and is out with Flipped Eye.
Today we dig deep into a Sylvia Plath poem called Stillborn. You can have a read of it here - https://hellopoetry.com/poem/695/stillborn/
