About this episode
On this episode Robin and Josie are joined by the poet Rachel Long whose debut book My Darling From the Lions has just been released. They chat about shifting from writing bad novels to good poetry, being expected to be an expert on your entire gender and race and discovering poetry on a park bench during a lunch break... Also Robin introduced Josie to some girl's ghost story annuals from the 70s. As always, extended edition for Patreon supporters. Sign up at patreon.com/bookshambles
