What's that knocking? It's the multi-talented Tishani Doshi, sharing her Bloodaxe collection A God at the Door. You'll hear supple, powerful poems fuelled by a controlled rage at the continuing oppression of women, blended with a playful optimism and dazzling ability to weave history, contemporary politics, and vivid imagery.
Plus Peter bites the AI bullet. Can Chat GPT be useful for poets? Or is AI the poet's nemesis? Robin emerges with a little colour in her cheeks, having read Bad Kid Catullus the 'filthsmith' Roman poet as re-imagined by innovative small press, Sidekick Books.

Send us a text A gleam of love in hard times. Our guest Ellen Cranitch shares poems from her Bloodaxe collection Crystal , a subtle, multifaceted work arising from the discovery that her partner was addicted to crystal meth. Expect beauty, flashes of resilience and the deft capture of moments that sustain a relationship through this extreme challenge. Robin and Peter have been rubbernecking at the recent Planetary Parade (we owe it to you dear listener because of our name) and use it as an excuse to open a celestial trove with dramatic lines from John Donne, from Odysseus Elytis transported from darkness on a highway of stars and from a heavenly (if passive-aggressive) W.B. Yeats. Then we sound a clarion note of Spring optimism from Thomas Tranströmer. Support the show Planet Poetry is a labour of love!

Robin shares her long-held enthusiasm for 52 Ways of Looking at a Poem - also by Ruth Padel.

Send us a text Ah-hem. Stop thinking like that. Think like a poet! Dwell in negative capability and write in a way that reflects the sheer messiness of human cognition! That's better isn't it? We meet Dai George and talk about his book How to Think Like a Poet (Bloomsbury Continuum 2024) - where Dai creates a new and generous canon of 24 poets from Homer, Sappho, to Frank O'Hara to Audre Lourde - and looks at their lives and preoccupations. Now the festive period is upon us, Robin and Peter are in a whimsical mood. So you can expect things like steam trains, OuLiPo and Alfred, Lord Tennyson's spirited good riddance to the old year. Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all our listeners. See you in 2025... Thanks for listening! Support the show Planet Poetry is a labour of love!

And we'll loiter in an English outfield hoping to catch poems from his Selected Poems 2005-2020, Larksong Static from Hedgehog Press about the First World War and a lonely bar in Manhattan. Meanwhile Robin and Peter continue to answer the questions poetry lovers demand to have answered: do poetry pamphlets always have to be invertebrates? And, isn't it time to be a bit less sniffy about Dylan Thomas ? We'll also read a delightful poem Please Can I Have a Man from Selima Hill. Support the show Planet Poetry is a labour of love!

Tempted into a big-eyed world of Disneyfied cuteness you’ll find things getting increasingly weird as Isabel examines its distorting relationship with nature, business, human relationships… and more. Plus Robin reports back to us from The Foyle Young Poets of the Year awards and reads the poem Loud by Indy Moon. Peter makes some excuse to read the timeless To Autumn , by John Keats.

Send us a text Kerpow! The poetry fireworks are back. We spark our fifth season into life with Danez Smith – who shares poems from their astonishing collection Bluff (published by Vintage Penguin 2024), destined to be one of the books of the decade. Danez discusses everything from Afropessimism to the power of water as a metaphor. Plus we hear poems that are conscious and politically-electrified, as well as tender and vulnerable poetry about love and the transformational power of poetry itself. Expect the usual back-to-school bantz from Robin and Peter, plus we dip into the poetry of exile with a fabulous poem from Sudanese poet Al-Saddiq Al-Raddi from his collection A Friend’s Kitchen , one of the World Poet Series editions published by the Poetry Translation Centre, we hear an astonishing poem by Tony Hoagland from his final collection Turn Up The Ocean . And we’ll remember the passing of New Zealand born Fleur Adcock who died this month. Thanks for being here with us in our new season. It’s delightful to be back. Now... Where are those sparklers?

Send us a text Grip the square steering wheel of your Austin Allegro and let Jane Commane navigate you through the haunted places of the post-industrial Midlands. She treats us to poems from Assembly Lines published by Bloodaxe including UnWeather , quite possibly the best Brexit response we've heard. We upload this episode on the day of the UK's General Election... So as well as sprinting to the polling stations, we take a moment to delve into the idea of political poetry. Peter reads I Woke Up by Jameson Fitzpatrick a fine example of how the personal is political, and Robin revisits Adrien Mitchell's poem To Whom It May Concern (Tell Me Lies About Vietnam) . But thanks to Danusha Laméris's poem Small Kindnesses from her collection Bonfire Opera our faith in humanity is rapidly restored.

He tells us about Korea's DMZ, hilarious Lincolnshire folk tales, and we explore an exceptionally moving sequence about the death of his troubled father. Also... Peter belatedly discovers the translation by Martyn Crucefix of Raine Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies . Spoiler: it is fantastic. And Robin remembers the hugely creative Ann Perrin who sadly passed last month (May 2024). Robin also uncovers these essential statistics: which insects are most mentioned in Haiku? Admit it.

Send us a text Silent faces and displaced lives. Seni Seneviratne gives voice to overshadowed Black children, exotic pages and servants in the portraits of nobility and the mercantile class in 18th Century paintings. Other of her poised and beautiful poems, from The Go-Away Bird from Peepal Tree Press , are infused with bird imagery, and the migrations of travellers going deeper into themselves. Meanwhile Robin jumps into the world of online poetry magazines, looking at the long-running Ink Sweat & Tears , and one of the newer mags Propel Magazine . And Peter is intrigued by Victoria Kennefick's latest collection Egg/Shell from Carcanet - a passionate book in two halves, exploring early motherhood and miscarriage, and the impact of a spouse's gender transition and the dissolution of a marriage.

We also venture into the dark and terrifying beauty of Paul Celan , and read Celan's poem Todesfuge , Death Fugue. And we happen across Poetry Peter , Peter Smith, a fisherman and proto-performace poet in Anstruther and Cellardyke - and Peter Kenny reads one of his poems... excruciatingly badly.
