Listen to Fizza Abbas read ‘How Inferiority Complex Talks to A Writer Whose Mother Tongue is Urdu’, February 2022’s Pick of the Month

by Kate Birch | Mar 12, 2022 | News, Picks of the Month

Today's poem is a critical, comprehensive rundown of a country's co-option from a citizen's viewpoint. Take a look at this 'Portrait Of A Country' by @apostlejohnchin

There are a few of things here:

1) is it possible that poetry actually DOES have more readers who aren’t poets, but poets are the only ones who bang on about reading poetry? So it seems like we’re all just reading each other’s books? https://twitter.com/roguestrands/status/1541541190985814017

Why does contemporary U.K. poetry have so few readers who aren't poets themselves...?

Today's poem comes from @badbettypress editor @JakeWildHall and locks in on a moment, a daydream, a thought spiral, with a hint of Alanis Morissette.
