For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to poet Gordon Meade to hear all about his new collection of selected poems Beyond The Ninth Wave, which is published with the Into Poetry imprint of Into Books.
Gordon gives a career overview, going back to his early interactions with poetry, his first experience of being published, and the extraordinary story which led to his writing seriously and subsequent career.
The two also discuss poetry more widely, the inspirations on - and the themes explored in - his work, the challenges in selecting the poems for this collection, and the joys of collaboration.
All of this, and Gordon gives three fantastic readings. It's a warm and winning conversation with a writer taking time to reflect on his life and work, and it was a pleasure and privilege to be part of that conversation.
