You Shall Not Pass...without listening to this episode!
Ian Mckellen and his BBC Radio 2 interview where he discusses the value of remembering Shakespeare's sonnets have pushed us to jump into the brain of Bill Shakespeare and see if we can pick a sonnet each that doesn't give us PTSD of having to study those bloody plays at school
After Ryan took a day off the session with some friends in Germany to read Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man And The Sea, we talk about pro's and con's of Hemingway as an influence on the modern man, but also gush over the quality of his writing and share one of his poems
Andy Porter writes us a lovely email of support and the gift of a poem all about that bloke that can't leave his tools alone.
We also welcome the return of our agony aunt who helps answer a question on how when we write, we judge our own thoughts and experiences. Interesting one this.
