9. Finding your Feet as a Poet - In Conversation with... Anthony Anaxagorou
Description
Anthony Anaxagorou is a British-born Cypriot poet, fiction writer, essayist, publisher and poetry educator. His poetry has been published in POETRY, The Poetry Review, Poetry London, New Statesman, Granta, and elsewhere. His work has also appeared on BBC Newsnight, BBC Radio 4, ITV, Vice UK, Channel 4 and Sky Arts.
Anthony is my favourite modern poet and also my poetry teacher. He shares his wise words across the world and is a poetry educator, teaching everyone from inner city pupils to Oxbridge students to prison inmates. In this podcast, he talks about how he found his feet as a poet, his perspective on how to write poetry that resonates in the current day and his experiences as a poetry educator. He talks about how everyone has the capacity to write poetry, and that would-be poets should move away from valuing their work based on awards and accolades towards writing the poetry that you want to write.
