The Crunch discussion

In the 'What We're Reading' segment of Issue #4's podcast (released in October 2016), there were two books from the excellent Nine Arches Press (picked by me (Rhys) and our Issue #4 guest Natalie Ann Holborow), a collection teeming with exploration and innovation (championed by Richard), and a recommendation via a recommendation from Adam (with a nod to Issue #1's feature poet Ian Gregson). There was also the now-traditional second pick from our guest: a brave, hard-hitting sequence of poems about loss that you'll read and re-read.
