The latest edition of our Nothing But The Poem podcast, hosted as usual by Samuel Tongue, features two poems by Juana Adcock. Samuel Tongue comments: "Juana Adcock is a poet who works between languages and registers and themes, ever inventive and risk-taking. In this all too brief intro to two of her poems, I hope you get a sense of all of these elements. And please come and borrow her books from the SPL." Liz Lochhead said of her first collection Split: "Here is sharp specificity, humour, daring. These poems rock. They sing." The two poems discussed in the podcast are The Task of the Translator and The Guitar's Lament.
