In Episode 5 my guest is David Spittle, who is a poet, filmmaker, and essayist. He was recently commissioned to direct and edit a documentary on Austrian Poetry, called Where is Everyone Austria, which is now available on Youtube. David’s first short film, Light Noise, was funded and broadcast by the BBC and is available to watch on iPlayer.
His first full collection of poetry is entitled All Particles and Waves and was published by Black Herald Press earlier this year. This followed his poetry pamphlet, entitled B O X, which was released in 2018.
He has also written three operas and, in 2014, was commissioned by Bergen National Opera to write a song-cycle which has since been performed internationally.

First broadcast 17 December 2020.
