Show Notes

In this episode of the Fremantle Press podcast poet Caitlin Maling chats to Holden Sheppard about her new collection Fish Song – which celebrates the beautiful coastline of Western Australia and the people and creatures that live on it. Caitlin says writing poetry is a fundamentally positive act that can help you come to terms with the precarious nature of an eroding coastline and an eroding way of life. She also advises new and emerging authors about the benefits of ‘hate reading’.
