Description

In this episode I chat with Daniel Hill about writing, identity and mythology. We explore the inspiration behind his new chapbook, and discuss how his creative practice is continuing to emerge.

We talk about:

* How identity is formed through language, and vice versa

* Why myth is fertile ground for bringing people together

* The tension between cynefin - a deep sense of belonging to land and community - and hiraeth - a longing for home that may be distant, lost or imagined

* The power and beauty of poetry (even if it feels intimidating)

* How Dan’s new chapbook - (be)longing - came into being
