  S5E7: Michael Mullen - What Was Left but Poetry?

  Aug 21, 202655 minS5

  Hello friends! Welcome back to Something Borrowed on the road, this time recorded at the wonderful StAnza festival up in St Andrews in March this year. It was a joy to sit down with the one and only Michale Mullen and discuss poetry origin stories, how to put a performance poem on the page and do it justice, authenticity vs commercial viability, writing and performing in Scots, and a frankly cracking Something Blue to bring it all home. We talk about Michael's Forward-Prize-nominated new collection Goonie as well as my new collection Tender, both of which are available to purchase and enjoy now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

  S5E6: Georgie Jones - First I Wanted To Be a Clown

  Jun 23, 202652 minS5

  Hello Friends - we're back with another banger! The people's champ Georgie Jones has come back by popular demand (from myself and someone who wrote it in chalk on the seafront) and it was WORTH IT. Combining stunning poems with great chat and an appropriate level for respect for the craft of getting on and off a stool, we talk about having babies (me) and not having babies (Georgie), new books (both!), top google searches, respective Roman empires and a Hugh Grant fact that I refuse to check in case it isn't true. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

  S5E5: Rachel Long - Staying Curious

  May 20, 202653 minS5

  We're back with another banger - Rachel Long was the season finale to our first series of the podcast back when everything was online, so it was a joy to have her in person as a new Margate Local! Recorded in October last year and released just in time for Rachel's new book, Sparrow on a Rooftop, coming out in June, it was amazing to hear Rachel's insight as an editor, her stunning work as a writer, and her warmth and generosity in everything in-between. Featuring poems about swimming, dummies, love, sandwiches, the goodness of people, and more. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did x

  S5E4: Caitlin O'Ryan - I’d Never Seen Poetry As Something Cool and Political

  Apr 22, 20261h 4mS5

  Hello friends - we are back with what can only be described as a classic. Returning to the glorious ARK in Margate with the glorious Caitlin O'Ryan. Caitlin is a brilliant poet and actor and was also the host for my favourite podcast guest appearance when I went on her podcast a few years ago so I was very excited to try and return the favour. We talk about poetry origins stories, slams, going viral, how to value your work vs getting affirmation from others, becoming the face/voice of a movement, and a frankly excellent story about stamps. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You can pick up Caitlin's book here and follow her here

  S5E3: Len Pennie - Poetry Is Not Therapy but Therapy Is Therapy

  Feb 12, 202649 minS5

  Hello Friends, Our final international instalment comes all the way from mighty Scotland! Streamed live at Greenbelt Festival, I am joined by the fantastic Len Pennie to talk about her new collection Poems Annaw (now a Sunday Times bestseller!), how she is the Wario to Robert Burns' Mario, her love of Scots, and her disdain for a themed collection among other things. It is the most I have ever felt roasted by a guest and I loved every second of it, I hope you do too.
