The Shape of Us

Podcast content

We were very blessed that, the now lamentably late, Clare Crossman read a selection of her poetry from The Shape of Us for listenupnorth and talked about the inspiration behind her collection.  Poet Clare also described her work process and her projects.  Although at the time of recording Clare had migrated southwards, much of her poetry was drawn from her time in the North.
