概要

Two poems by the Scottish poet, Cheryl Follon, are discussed on this podcast. Our regular host Samuel Tongue, with help from the monthly meeting of Friends of the SPL group, goes under the bonnet of the short prose poem 'Netball' and the longer poem 'Dinner' - which can both be found on the Scottish Poetry Library website:

Netball

Dinner

Gerry Cambridge described Cheryl Follon's Bloodaxe collection Santiago (which includes 'Netball') as "idiosyncratic, bright as new paint, at times enigmatic, at times clear as water... unexpected and colourful as contemporary life".

"Delight is clear in this collection (Santiago)" wrote Alison Craig in The Bottle Imp. "It is surprising, fun and funny, colourful and vibrating with energy. Its accessibility is one of the keys to its power; in just a few lines, Follon gets right to the crux. But the real genius for me is the lightness of touch. There is no sense of working through or finding a way. Idea and poem arrive simultaneously on the page. Immaculate."
