Witty Poetry ft. Joanna Lee

What do you get if you cross poetry with a joke?
In this episode I'm joined by Joanna Lee: agent at Curtis Brown, poet, and poetry critic whose work has been featured in the Guardian, LRB, and White Review. We talk about the lack of diversity in poetry criticism, the relationship between humour and tragedy, brevity, and ridiculous metaphors.
NB: this was recorded before lockdown, and when I was in a phase of saying that everything I liked was 'omg so silly.' Please forgive me.
