This week we're changing it up, and moving from the medium of music to poetry  by speaking to lyds, a Black woman poet and writer. Based in Epsom, UK, her writing practice predicates on delineating the human condition through the prisms of Black womanhood, music, the erotic, spirituality &amp; radical tenderness. In this episode we get into the creative process of crafting poetry and see where the words stop and the music begins. 

lyds co-facilitates PRISM WRITERS; a writer’s group for Black women held at the Southbank Centre and has an&nbsp;MA in Black British Writing from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has also had her writing published by the likes of AFROPUNK, Syla&nbsp;Studio, Lungs Project, Kandaka, sweet-thang zine, Lacuna Lit, Guts Publishing and Call + Response Journal.
