A special show tonight – the 900th episode of Curveballs, no less! Tonight was about how so many acts we’ve featured over the years are continuing to make great music, and how we’ve expanded as a show to include many different kinds of performers. One such example is poet Simon Drake, who joined us for a second appearance, showcasing his thought-provoking poetry that’s never afraid to shy away from difficult topics. Simon’s first collection Triggers is available now on Amazon with a second book in the pipeline for early next year. Listen back to him chatting about his poetry-writing process and his ever-growing foray into live events, showing how poetry can provide a great night out as well as a night in having a read.
