Flint in The Curlew

Chair of Somewhere Else, Frank McMahon was invited to talk about the inspiration behind his poetry in a podcast for the editor of The Curlew magazine, Lynn Parr. The magazine, a print periodical dedicated to writing and illustration celebrating the natural world, featured Frank’s poem ‘Wordsmiths’ in October and has just accepted a second poem ‘Flint’ for the next edition.

In the podcast Frank talks about setting himself the challenge of writing about a known but inanimate object existing over a long passage of geological time. The full interview can be listened to here:
