Podcast appearances and mentions of colin waters

In 1972, Liz Lochhead published her debut collection, Memo For Spring, a landmark in Scottish literature. In an extended interview with Colin Waters, the then Scots Makar discusses what the early 1970s poetry scene she emerged into was like, one in which women poets were few and far between. She recalls early meetings with the elder generation – Norman MacCaig, Edwin Morgan, Robert Garioch – and with contemporaries such as Tom Leonard, James Kelman and Alasdair Gray. She also speaks about life during the era of the three-day week and compares it with an economically troubled present-day that, in some respects, mirrors 1972. And she reads several poems from Memo For Spring. Photo by Norman McBeath.

Iain Sinclair is one of the UK's greatest living writers. Famed for his novels, such as Downriver, and documentary prose, of which London Orbital is perhaps the best known, Sinclair began his career self-publishing his own poetry on his Albion Village Press in the 1970s. 2013 saw the publication of three books – two poetry collections and a longer book on his relationship with the Beats, American Smoke. Colin Waters travelled to Sinclair's home in Hackney, where he asked Sinclair about his Scottish roots, John Clare and his lost 1970s collection Red Eye, which was being published by Test Centre.

The Anthropocene is a new geological epoch that began in the 1950s when humans started altering the planet with various forms of industrial and radioactive material. The International Geological Congress will meet in Korea in 2024 to consider the Anthropocene designation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/james-herlihy/message

Since the middle of the 20th century, humans have had a very strong effect on planet Earth. These effects have included climate change, species loss and pollution. Humanity's impact has been so strong that scientists say a new geological epoch began then.The scientists call it the Anthropocene epoch. The word comes from the Greek terms for “human” and “new.” This epoch started sometime between 1950 and 1954, the scientists say. There is evidence worldwide of the harmful impact on the Earth's health of burning fossil fuels, dropping nuclear weapons and releasing fertilizers and plastics on land and in water.自20世纪中叶以来，人类对地球产生了非常强烈的影响。这些影响包括气候变化、物种丧失和污染。人类的影响如此之大，以至于科学家们表示，一个新的地质时代从那时开始。科学家们称之为人类世时代。这个词来自希腊语中的“人类”和“新”。科学家们说，这个时代开始于 1950 年至 1954 年之间。全世界有证据表明，燃烧化石燃料、投放核武器以及在陆地和水中释放化肥和塑料对地球健康产生有害影响。“It's quite clear that the scale of change has intensified unbelievably and that has to be human impact,” said University of Leicester geologist Colin Waters. He led the Anthropocene Working Group. The scientists say the power of humans is comparable with the meteorite that crashed into Earth 66 million years ago. The meteorite killed off the dinosaurs and started the Cenozoic Era, or what is known as the age of mammals. While that meteorite started a whole new era, the working group is proposing that humans only started a new epoch. An epoch is a much smaller geological time period. The scientists are proposing a small but deep lake outside of Toronto, Canada, to place a historic marker. The lake is called Crawford Lake. The group aims to decide on an exact start date of the Anthropocene by measuring plutonium levels at the bottom of Crawford Lake.莱斯特大学地质学家科林·沃特斯表示：“很明显，变化的规模已经令人难以置信地加剧，而这必然是人类的影响。” 他领导了人类世工作组。科学家表示，人类的力量可与6600万年前坠落地球的陨石相媲美。陨石消灭了恐龙，开启了新生代，即所谓的哺乳动物时代。虽然那颗陨石开启了一个全新的时代，但工作组提出，人类只是开启了一个新时代。纪元是一个小得多的地质时期。科学家们提议在加拿大多伦多郊外建造一个小而深的湖泊，以放置一个历史标记。这个湖叫做克劳福德湖。该小组的目标是通过测量克劳福德湖底部的钚含量来确定人类世的确切开始日期。Crawford Lake is 29 meters deep and 24,000 square meters wide. It was chosen over 11 other sites because the yearly effects of human activity on the earth's soil, atmosphere and biology are clearly shown in its layers of sediment. That includes everything from the effect of nuclear weapons to pollution to rising temperatures.There are clear signs in Crawford Lake showing that, starting in 1950, “the effects of humans overwhelm the Earth system,” said Francine McCarthy. She is part of the working group who specializes in that site as an Earth sciences professor at Brock University in Canada. The Anthropocene shows the power — and hubris — of humankind, several scientists said. Hubris is a great or foolish amount of confidence.克劳福德湖深29米，宽24000平方米。它之所以比其他 11 个地点被选中，是因为人类活动每年对地球土壤、大气和生物的影响在其沉积层中清晰可见。这包括从核武器的影响到污染再到气温上升的一切。克劳福德湖有明显迹象表明，从 1950 年开始，“人类的影响压倒了地球系统，”弗朗辛·麦卡锡说。她是加拿大布鲁克大学地球科学教授，专门研究该站点的工作组成员之一。几位科学家表示，人类世展示了人类的力量和傲慢。狂妄自大是一种极大或愚蠢的自信。“The hubris is in imagining that we are in control," said former U.S. White House science adviser John Holdren. He was not part of the working group of scientists. He disagrees with the group's proposed start date. Instead, he wants one much earlier. Holdren said the power of humans to change the environment is far greater than their understanding of the impacts. Geologists measure time in eons, eras, periods, epochs and ages, with eons being the longest. The scientific working group is proposing that Anthropocene Epoch followed the Holocene Epoch. Holocene started about 11,700 years ago at the end of an ice age. The proposal still needs to be approved by three different groups of geologists. It could be signed at a major conference next year. Naomi Oreskes is a science historian with Harvard University and a working group member. She said if there is no change to harmful human activities, “we are headed for tragedy.”美国前白宫科学顾问约翰·霍尔德伦 (John Holdren) 表示：“狂妄自大的想法是认为我们掌控一切。”他不是科学家工作组的成员。他不同意该工作组提议的开始日期。相反，他希望早得多 霍尔德伦表示，人类改变环境的力量远远大于他们对环境影响的理解。地质学家以亿万、纪元、时期、纪元和年龄来测量时间，其中亿万是最长的。科学工作组提议人类世紧随全新世之后。全新世始于大约 11,700 年前的冰河时代末期。该提案仍需得到三个不同地质学家小组的批准。该协议可能会在明年的一次重要会议上签署。内奥米·奥雷斯克斯 (Naomi Oreskes) 是哈佛大学的科学史学家，也是工作组成员。她说，如果有害的人类活动不改变，“我们将走向悲剧。”

An awesome guy, and with a ton of great stories to tell as well. Marshall saw the Beatles in 1963, did early gigs with The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Elton John and so many more. He founded TMB in the 80s, and ran it successfully until his departure in 2014. Of course Colin Waters continues to succeed with TMB today.

Welcome to the History Sideshow - my weekly podcast that runs in between the main Unearthed seasons. This week Ryan looks at another theory regarding the burial of Scotland's "worst poet", takes you down the rabbit hole of Scottish Faerie folklore, and delivers the week in Scottish History News! Interview clips from author and historian Charlotte Golledge and Colin Waters from the Scottish Poetry Library.

John and Karen sit down and talk through Karen's process and ideas about a Vampire Abbess story. From research to editing, she talks her way through a new story. There is no "right way" to write! Hope it proves inspirational to someone else. … Continue...Episode 65 – Karen Sources a Story

Gail, Hazel and host Philippa are transported to Orkney as they explore the life and works of the poet and novelist George Mackay Brown OBE. Together with his biographer Maggie Fergusson and Colin Waters of the Scottish Poetry Library, they bring to light a writer who was at once a solitary soul and a raconteur, a lover and a drinker, a member of the Edinburgh literati yet fame-shy. From the oft-recited ‘Hamnavoe’ to the Booker-nominated ‘Beside the Ocean of Time’ Mackay Brown’s work sings of his island roots, interweaving life and social history with myth and legend. In this month’s travels through the magazine’s archives, Christopher Robbins and Rory Murphy tackle the high falutin literary rap of ‘Finnegans Wake’, and there are the usual wide-ranging recommendations for reading off the beaten track too.

In August, our regular podcast host Colin Waters travelled to Faslane, home of the UK's nuclear deterrant, to talk to Gerry Loose. Loose's latest collection fault line is a suite of poems inspired by the area, which is his backyard. The great natural beauty contrasts with the ugliness of the military base, inspiring Loose. He guides Colin around the area, sharing its history and his thoughts on the radical nature of landscape poetry.

Iain Sinclair is one of the UK's greatest living writers. Famed for his novels, such as Downriver, and documentary prose, most famously perhaps London Orbital, Sinclair began his career self-publishing his own poetry on his Albion Village Press in the 1970s. This year sees the publication of three books, 2 poetry collections and a longer book on his relationship with the Beats. Colin Waters travelled to Sinclair's home in Hackney in May 2012, where he asked Sinclair about his Scottish roots, John Clare and his lost 1970s collection Red Eye, which is being published this year by Test Centre.

Kona Macphee has been many things in her lifetime, from waitress to motorcycle mechanic to computer scientist. Poetry lovers will know her as a poet, although the word she uses to describe herself is 'thingwright'. Colin Waters interviewed her earlier this year about her new collection What Long Miles (Bloodstone). During the interview, Kona discusses reality and the media, being inspired by history and how her garden is her R and D lab, as well as reading poems from her new collection.

The SPL caught up with George Szirtes at the StAnza poetry festival in March, 2013. In town to read from his new collection Bad Machine (Bloodaxe), George Szirtes spoke to Colin Waters about memory, photography, Twitter and 1960s garage pop. Photo by Caroline Forbes.

In 1972, Liz Lochhead published her debut collection, Memo For Spring, a landmark in Scottish literature. In an extended interview with Colin Waters, the National Poet of Scotland discusses what the early 1970s poetry scene she emerged into was like, one in which women poets were few and far between. She recalls early meetings with the elder generation - Norman MacCaig, Edwin Morgan, Robert Garioch - and with contemporaries such as Tom Leonard, James Kelman and Alasdair Gray. The future Makar also speaks about life during the era of the three-day week and compares it with an economically troubled present-day that, in some respects, mirrors 1972. And she reads several poems from Memo For Spring. The image of Liz Lochhead is provided by Norman McBeath.

Exciting news! The SPL is changing the way it does its podcasts. Join regular host Ryan Van Winkle and new SPL podcasters, poet JL (Jennifer) Williams and Colin Waters, as they talk you through the new set-up. Plus Ryan and Jennifer read their own work.
