Description

The Glimpse is back with a new season of engaging conversations with poets, as they share their own work and poems that have influenced them.

This season, host Hannah Lowe chats with poets from around the UK. Liz Berry, Arji Manuelpillai, Menna Elfyn, Joelle Taylor, Mimi Khalvati, Richard Scott, Jason Allen-Paisant, and Niall Campbell each choose two poems to read and discuss: one they’ve written, and one by another poet. The season's first episode next week will introduce you to Hannah and her work.

The Glimpse: A Poetry Podcast is produced by the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation, with new episodes available each Tuesday starting in June 2026.
