Right now in April 2022 the PTC has just released our latest World Poets Series Book ‘To Love a Woman' by Argentinian poet Diana Bellessi, translated by Leo Boix. So this week we are taking a little thematic inspiration and playing you four poems about desire written by female poets. You will hear 'Make Me Drunk with Your Kisses' by Maria Clara Sharupi Jua from Equador, translated from Shuar by Nataly Kelly and The Poetry Translation Workshop, 'Cat Lying in Wait' written in Dari by Shakila Azizzada from Afghanistan and translated by Zuzanna Olszewska with the poet Mimi Khalvati, 'The Lost Button' by Fatena Al-Gharra from Palastine, translated from the Arabic by Anna Murison and Sarah Maguire and 'Taste' by Ash Lul Mounamd Yusif translated by Said Jama Hussein with Claire Pollard. Remember to do as the Somali women would at the live readings and chant along to the repeating lines. Say it- "If he's not to your taste, he's just a blocked path!"

Get ready for the ultimutt dream team: Dr Sarah Parker (Loughborough) and Dr Hannah Roche (York) share their clever mewsings on queer pets and their keepurrs in this pawesome episode. Although a cat called Winky, a poodle named Basket and Whym Chow, the chow, are clearly the alphas of this episode, other Modernist animals and their human companions feature as well: from Gertrude Stein to Radclyffe Hall to 'Michael Field', we've got the whole pack! We retrieve their literary hisstories to reflect on how ruff the discrepancy between different timelines of human and non-human animal lives can be, but Hannah and Sarah also read furrmidable love poetry for pets, and talk about the pupstar status most of these animals had in their humans' lives. At the tail end of the conversation, we all share some furvourite texts and films. Apparently, I need to watch She-Ra!Texts, people and pets mentioned:Sarah Parker's The Lesbian Muse and Poetic Identity, 1889-1930 (Pickering and Chatto, 2013)Michael Field: Decadent Moderns, edited by Sarah Parker and Ana Parejo Vadillo (Ohio University Press, December 2019)Sarah Parker's “Women Poets and Photography, 1860–1970” (National Portrait Gallery)https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/about/photographs-collection/featured-collections-archive/women-poets-and-photography/ Hannah Roche's The Outside Thing: Modernist Lesbian Romance (Columbia UP, 2019)Gertrude SteinRadclyffe HallDjuna BarnesAlice B.

If you'd like to see (p)oodles of queer pets, you could also check out @Lena_Mattheis (Twitter) or @queerlitpodcast on Instagram.Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:1. Which of the authors mentioned are you already familiar with? Do you remember non-human animals featuring in their writing and life?2. Why do you think writing about pets is often classified as ‘whimsical' or in some way less relevant?3. Please read the final scene of Djuna Barnes' novel Nightwood (1928). What function do you think the dog has here?4. What are potential roles that can be ascribed to pets in a queer household? What is problematic about these?5. Please look up Jack Halberstam's work on wildness and compare his position to Donna Harraway's Companion Species Manifesto. You may want to refer to the Queer Lit episode with Jack as well. 6. Do you think queer people have a different relationship to pets? (You may want to consider queer temporality, empathy, and queer childhoods in your response.)

Nina Mingya Powles is a writer and zinemaker from Aotearoa New Zealand. In this wide-ranging reflection on writing her memoir and travel diary Tiny Moons, she discusses trying (and failing) to become more Chinese in Shanghai, the language of the body, and the politics of the untranslated. 'I want to intentionally decentre English as the main language and decentre Western ideas about Asia and Asian languages ...' In 2018, Nina was one of three winners of the Women Poets' Prize, and in 2019 she won the inaugural Nan Shepherd Prize for Nature Writing and the Landfall Essay Competition. She is also the founding editor of Bitter Melon苦瓜, a very small press that publishes limited-edition pamphlets by Asian poets. Tiny Moons: A Year of Eating in Shanghai is published by Birmingham(UK)-based publisher the Emma Press. Nina's latest book is Small Bodies of Water. Craft is brought to you by Wasafiri, the magazine of international contemporary writing.

Sappho was a very real woman, a poet of the island of Lesbos, the "Tenth Muse", and she almost definitely loved men and women. The origin of terms Lesbian and Sapphic, a true icon.CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Sources: Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves: Women in Classical Antiquity by Sarah B.

Like today and always, women’s stories and accomplishments continue to fall out of historical record. While people have long associated prominent writers such as Langston Hughes and W.E.B. Du Bois with the Harlem Renaissance, many have not heard of Anne Spencer, Effie Lee Newsom, or Esther Popel. Creating wholly original poems using the "Golden Shovel" method, Nikki brings the struggles, victories, pain, and joy experienced by these women poets of the Harlem Renaissance, whose contributions have been long overlooked, to the forefront. Each poem is paired with unique illustrations from African-American women illustrators working today.

Nikki Grimes, poet author and longtime friend of the podcast, shares LEGACY: WOMEN POETS OF THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE. Nikki’s new book showcases poems from the Harlem Renaissance written by Black women. Each poem is then followed by a Golden Shovel poem written by Nikki in response to the original. The Golden Shovel poetic form, created by Terrance Hayes and described to readers by Nikki, “calls poets to take a short poem in its entirety, or a line from the poem, called a striking line, and to create a new poem using the words from the original.” I found many of these poems to be striking if not transcendent. These are beautiful, modern responses to the work of Harlem Renaissance poets that affirms and resonates our connects and experiences over a century passed. The poems are also accompanied by original art by Black female artists, many of whom have illustrated some of your favorite works for children today. All told, this is Nikki at her best and I say as much to her in our conversation. You can access even more information about this book and its author by visiting www.matthewcwinner.com/blog.
