About this episode
Latest up from Spoken Label features the wonderful Carla Mellor,
author of Scraps.
Carla's work is described as:
“Carla reminds us to love our rough edges and embrace the imperfect. A candid and crucial first collection from a bright new voice.” – Toria Garbutt
“Common but not commonplace, lyrical and luminescent. If you like early Armitage, karaoke, Cooper Clarke, cans of Carling, Garry and Garbutt, and growing up working class, you’ll love this book of bitter-sweet poetry from an up-and-coming Northern star.” – Louise Fazackerley
“Microscopic reflections. Half answered questions, half answered.” – Mike Garry
