The Crunch discussion

In Issue #3's podcast (released in June 2016), our guest Alan Kellermann recommended two books: a collection of poems that deals in dualities, and an inspirational guide to the writing of poetry. Meanwhile, I suggested picking up a copy of a 'verse novella' by Scotland’s leading rural poet, and Richard and Adam pointed our listeners towards two poetry anthologies that are worth dipping into.
