In this episode I talk with romesh dissanayake. romesh's amazing novel when I open the shop (Te Herenga Waka University Press) was launched about a month ago. I was really grateful that romesh and I were able to have a chat. I asked romesh to bring along an object as a way into a conversation about his book and this stage of its publication. romesh suggested Água Viva by Clarice Lispector. It was such a great conversation. Here are some links about some of the things we talk about: Trying to Keep it Sacred: A conversation with Olive Nuttall & romesh dissanayake in Starling Louise Wallace – On poetic form in romesh dissanayake’s novel When I open the shop in The Poetry Shelf You can support Better off Read financially at Buy Better off Read a Coffee Better off Read is available on Spotify and most podcasting apps.
