Leyla Josephine - In Public / In Private

For the latest SWH! podcast Ali spoke to returning guest, the poet, performer and playwright Leyla Josephine, to talk about her new poetry collection In Public / In Private which is published by Burning Eye Books.

Leyla kindly reads some of her work, and talks about becoming a published poet, the ideas and themes that are behind the poems, the line between the public and the private, getting that balance right in both her poetry and other work, learning lessons from the past, and a whole lot more.

She also talks about her current tour, which includes a night in Glasgow at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut on Saturday 26th November, which will see Colin Bramwell, Ellen Renton, Empress, Iona Lee, Kevin P.Gilday, Niki Rush in support. It promises to be a special event, and you can get tickets and find out more over at www.scotswhayhae.com.
