Each episode of This is Not a Poem delves into the intricacies of translation, poetry, and language. Host, Elliott KB often talks with a featured poet or translator about the craft of translation and the many poets who capture our hearts in both French and English.   This week in This is not a poem we discussed poetic snobbery, literary assumptions and cultural perspectives between the English and French language. We asked “what is a poem?”, and where can we find fun while engaging with art? We discuss the poem Ceci n'est pas un poeme by Brian Bilston and consider it as translated into French by Yannick Champion-Osselin.   Who is Brian Bilston?

Celeste talks to Front Row about her career from making tracks on a laptop in her bedroom to successes at the Brit and BBC Music Awards, composing and performing the music for last year's John Lewis advert, A Little Love, and the release of her debut album 'Not Your Muse'. She blew her fusilli, my pretty penne, when she found me watching daytime tagliatelle. The first stanza of 'The Remembrance of Things Pasta' is typical of the poetry of Brian Bilston, who has been called the Banksy of Poetry and Twitter's unofficial poet laureate. He talks and reads witty, wry and wise poetry from his new collection, 'Alexa, what is there to know about love?' And Ryan Gilbey gives his verdict on new film Palmer starring Justin Timberlake. Former high school football star Eddie Palmer went from hometown hero to convicted felon. He returns home to Louisiana and the grandmother who raised him but things become more complicated when Vivian’s hard-living neighbour Shelly (Juno Temple) disappears on a prolonged bender, leaving her precocious and unique 7-year-old son Sam (Ryder Allen), often the target of bullying for his gender non-conforming behaviour, in Palmer’s reluctant care.
