Masculinity | Men - with Peter Raynard

Forging manfully through cyberspace just to be with you... Robin and Peter are back with another cracking episode featuring  Peter Raynard, who guides us through his elegiac, furious and moving book Manland from Nine Arches Press. We'll hear how Peter Raynard's experiences of growing up working class in Coventry has stimulated this bracing poetic reappraisal of what it means to be a man -- from toxic masculinity to little kisses. Plus your poddy pals find out what Jacques Prévert was scribbling on the tablecloths, and catch up with the latest editions of The Frogmore Papers, and Prole.   Support the showPlanet Poetry is a labour of love, paid for out of our own pockets.If you enjoy the podcast, please show your support and Buy us a Coffee!
