The Poetry Bath

Joanna Nissel (Part 1)

Sian Thomas Season 1 Episode 1

The first of a two-part interview in which Siân meets Sussex-based writer Joanna Nissel whose debut poetry pamphlet Guerrilla Brightenings was published by Against the Grain Press in 2022. Joanna reads from the pamphlet and talks to Siân about her love of the chalk paths and landscape of the Sussex Downs and how the Covid pandemic inspired in her the unexpected outburst of creativity that became Guerrilla Brightenings.

The Poetry Bath's theme tune is composed and performed by Nigel Horn.

The Poetry Bath has moved to Buzzsprout from Wildhart Radio. You can listen to all 51 previous episodes on Wildhart's website and via Siân's too.
