About this listen
Ian Grosz talks with Poet Chris Powici, who gives insight into his writing practice, what he sees as the role of the writer, and the importance of affirming the world around us.
Chris talks about the part he played in the formation of the Paperboats collective, his approach to writing poetry and his thoughts on the role of the writer in the climate and ecological crisis. We hear Chris read his poems ‘Night Fishing’ and ‘Deer’ from his first collection, This Weight of Light (Red Squirrel Press, 2015), and how capturing a sense of the intangible – the ‘otherworlds’ we inhabit through imagination – is an important feature of his work. Finally, Chris reads his poem ‘Loch Striven’ from Issue 1 of the Paperboats e-zine, at paperboats.org.
Chris’s latest collection, Look, Breathe, is available from Red Squirrel Press at redsquirrelpress.com.
