In the first part of this episode I talk to Jane Yeh: a poet and Creative Writing lecturer, originally from America and now living in London, whose third poetry collection Discipline came out in 2019.
And in the second part I talk to poetry-sceptic Lydia, who has just finished a Masters in Service Design from Glasgow School of Art.
Lydia tells me that although she is often "around people who admire and enjoy poetry," she has "just never really connected with any" herself. In the end she connects with this poem a bit too much, and I need to tell her to calm down!
