Interview: The London Ear

I was interviewed on RTE 2XM’s London Ear programme before my reading this weekend at Jewish Book Week. What made the interview a little bit different was I was being interviewed by a long time family friend who hosts this arts show based in London for Irish listeners. In the interview I spoke about how I started writing poetry after a flirtation with Britpop-inspired 4-chord guitar playing and being raised Jewish in Ireland, while Vanessa remembered her first encounters with Chopped Herring.
