Welcome to the Unpublishable podcast. Love poems are often thought of as grand and romantic gestures; sweet rhyming verses about perfect relationships and domestic bliss. While there’s nothing wrong with this kind of poem, this week we’re looking at three poems that show different sides to love and infatuation: the thrill of infatuation, the all consuming nature of a budding crush, and the fear of feelings being made into words. Beth, Faith Odigbo, and Balogun Abdulmueed bring us their lovely poems about romance and all of its faces. Beth can be found here. Balogun Abdulmueed can be found here. The Unpublishable Podcast features poems published in our zine, the Unpublishable Zine. If you would like to submit to Unpublishable for the chance to be published and have your poetry read on the podcast, please visit our site at http://www.theunpublishablezine.wordpress.com ! The Unpublishable Zine can be found on Twitter and Instagram. Happy listening, poets and poetry enthusiasts!
