conscient podcaste117 portrait of robin mathews (bonus episode)Here is another bonus episode, this one is called 'Portrait of Robin Mathews'. It is 3 part unpublished radio program I created in 2005 in collaboration with Robin based on an interview I recorded with him in 2004. The program is a layered discussion about the history of political poetry in Canada, the role of the artist in society and family matters, in particular his relationship with me as my father-in-law. This program also includes Robin reading excerpts of his poetry as well as some of my soundscape compositions.
