MORE POETRY IS NEEDED: Elsewhere, Walking in the Peatlands

First radio of the year from @strandedfm. 12pm NL, 11am IRE.

A special episode where I recite an essay published in @transcriptmagazine Issue One. 

The reading is a written documentation of a ten hour experiment conducted in August 2021: a walk from Leiden to Amsterdam in search of creative enlightenment. I intersperse each hour with music that reflects the landscape and circumstance I found myself in. I hope you enjoy. Lace up your boots, join my past self and my current self, my afterthoughts, on a stroll through the Groene Hart.

In the words of Bob Dylan in ‘My Back Pages’ —

“I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now’
