In this episode, Edward and Rob Hamilton speak to friend, writer and poet Simon Maddrell about his journey to stepping into his authentic voice and sharing his art with the world. Throughout the conversation they dive into the power of sharing our unique truth and experience through a timeless craft such as poetry.
Simon’s evocative writing weaves his experience as a ‘queer Manx man’ living and thriving with HIV with his memories and love for his childhood home the Isle of Man and themes of spirituality and existence. He shares throughout the episode a few powerful pieces including Manannan mac y Leir, Cronk Meayll, Extinction Cloud and Our Little Time.
