Amy LeBlanc - Down the Rabbit Hole
Some unfortunate things happen to rabbits in this one.
A conversation with Amy LeBlanc about her first collection of poetry: I know something you don't know. You will hear firsthand about the love and pain of writing and publishing poetry, and how to pick up poem ideas like magpies pick up shiny baubles (do magpies actually do that?)
The audio quality in this episode is not quite up to our SUPER professional standards - we had to record remotely because of the pandemic. But it should still be a good listen!
Here's how you can follow Amy's work, and pick up your very own copy of I know something you don't know:
