We're so excited to launch our Autumn Podcast! Tune in here to listen to the brilliant Arji Manuelpillai talking with Padraig Regan about the Autumn Choice, The Matter.
"It was bearded, silver, druidic.
It spoke of moons, solicited
touch, promised to leak no poison
into the cat’s curious mouth"
— from 'A Furry Succulent',
The Matter, Padraig Regan
(Carcanet)
In this episode, Padraig and Arji discuss objects one comes across in museums; using drawing as part of the writing process — "seeing through drawing"; what 'natural' means, particularly in a queer context; surrealism; eroticism, and the divide between human and non-human. It's a rich and fascinating conversation; the perfect accompaniment for those enjoying reading The Matter.
Listen here, and look out for our special discount code for podcast listeners too.
