Welcome to Hundreds and Thousands, a poetry podcast showcasing the best of today’s nonbinary and trans poets.

This week’s poems are from Oska Von Ruhland. Oska is a nonbinary Cardiff-based author, blogger and fashion eccentric, with a background in theatre. They have two published short story collections: "Stories to Stay Alive To" and "The God Killer and other Tales of Chaos". Currently they are developing queer Welsh heritage projects for the National Museum of Wales, as well as publishing their ongoing illustrated webstory "Want To Forget You". Their work often focuses on themes of community, found family, trauma and death.

Hundreds & Thousands Podcast┃Episode Six - Oska Von Ruhland - Haiku

Joelle Taylor chats to spoken word artist Salena Godden about the UK's spoken word poetry scene, past present and future, as well as her experience with the recent BBC iPlayer documentary 'We Belong Here'. Salena also reads and discusses her poem 'Titanic', tells us the best and worst gig she's ever been to, and more. To connect with more poetry, visit poetrysociety.org.uk

We are a small independent publisher in the South West predominately specialising in promoting spoken word artists. We aim to dispel the assumption that performance poetry does not transfer well to page as well as give emerging and established artist opportunities to be published where they might be rejected from other traditional poetry publishers. As well as poetry, we publish indie fiction, please have a look at our webstore for new release and popular titles.
