In the latest edition of our Nothing But The Poem podcast resident host Samuel Tongue - after a meetup of the Friends of the SPL Group - takes an exploratory dive into two poems by Indian poet, Tishani Doshi.

'Doshi’s work is like the music of Shostakovich; it gives no quarter but compels you to listen anyway and sometimes there is a beautiful lyricism to chase away the scary bits… There are words and phrases that will stay with you long after you close the book.’ – Frances Spurrier, Wales Arts Review

"It’s impossible not to cheer for the poet’s third collection, with her reflections on female bodies and violence feeling exceptionally timely" - Sandeep Parmar, The Guardian

The two poems discussed were:

Some Words to the Close and Holy Darkness

Girls Are Coming Out of the Woods
