In this episode we take Maya Angelou's Still I Rise as inspiration and catalyst. We chat about writing as protest, appropriation, and the status of Maya Angelou as phenomenal woman.

Writers discussed include Amanda Gorman, Langston Hughes, WS Merwin, Bob Dylan, Colston Whitehead and Lucy Hannah.

Contributors are poet Mark Lewis, bookseller Lorna Lee and psychologist Philippa Davies.
