Description

'I have to say as an editor, I was very pleased when I saw "flensing". I thought, "Yes exactly! That's exactly . . . Hurrah! Yes!"

Publisher Cherry Potts from Arachne Press and indigenous Mexican Latinx author Marina Sánchez talk with Jess about the newly published anthology Where We Find Ourselves: Stories and Poems of Maps and Mapping from UK Writers of the Global Majority.

The poems you hear are Geography Lesson, by Marina Sánchez, read by Marina Sánchez; and Departure Lounge, by Rhiya Pau, read by Farhana Khalique.

Marina recommends the Zapotec poet Irma Pineda, and Cherry recommends Jay Bernard's debut collection of poetry, Surge.
