2.1 Speculative Poetry From Both Sides of the Editor's Desk with Colleen Anderson
For the first episode of season 2, Brittany got to have a chat with Colleen Anderson, poet, short story writer, and president of the Science Fiction Poetry Association. We do apologise for the technical difficulties Brittany and Colleen experienced during their recording, but they still had tons of fun chatting all things poetry, and hope you enjoy listening just as much. A big thank you to Brittany for jumping into the project alongside me. I don't think I could do it alone anymore, now that the world is more demanding again as it evolves to a post-pandemic situation in many places. Full episode notes, a list of links mentioned, and a full episode transcript are available at lookingglasspoets.wordpress.com/2023/03/29/2-1-speculative-poetry-from-both-sides-of-the-editors-desk-with-colleen-anderson/ Until next time, Later, lookingglass travellers!

9. Poetry in Translation with Brittany Hause
Hello Looking Glass Travelers! Welcome to the April episode! I guess we made it before the end of the month, if only barely. I do apologise for the delay. Between raising six high-energy puppies and getting the roof on our house replaced, every part of my life devolved into a steaming pile of chaos, making recordings impossible. I got to have a chat with Brittany Hause, author, poet, linguist, and poetry translator. Brittany and I had tons of fun, and I hope you enjoy it just as much. A big thank you to Brittany for pitching in and editing the recording. I wouldn't have made it before May 1st without their help. (and such a great job of it, too) Full episode notes and a list of links mentioned can be found at https://lookingglasspoets.wordpress.com/2022/05/04/brittany-hause/ Until next time, Later, lookingglass travellers!

8. "Yes, I am a Poet" with Crystal L. Kirkham
Hello Looking Glass Travellers, and welcome to the March 2022 episode, again so late we're well past the fashionable stage. My guest this month was someone I talk to a lot. We've just never recorded it before. But she's only recently started claiming the title of poet for herself, and this is something I very much wanted to talk about, since that step, and the impostor syndrome standing between you and that step, is something a lot of people deal with at some point in their creative journey. Links mentioned: Crystal's website: https://www.crystallkirkham.com/ Crystal's Twitter account: https://twitter.com/canuckclick And if you'd like to meet her gorgeous poodles, her TikTok is a fairly good option as well: https://www.tiktok.com/@canuckclick Altered Reality Magazine, where her first piece, also known as the accidental poem, was published: https://www.alteredrealitymag.com/ Narrative Poetry, a discussion panel from Flights of Foundry 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J6uYsHgOVo&t=1s The Ode Less Travelled, by Stephen Fry: https://books2read.com/u/3yKAke A Mouthful of Air, a podcast discussing both contemporary and classical poems: https://amouthfulofair.fm/ Koji A.
