Understanding Masculinity Through Poetry

Well, we give it a go anyway and thank the fecking lord we have poetry to help us. We’re share a piece from ourselves as well as work from Simon Armitage, Ursula Walshe and Hayley Gordon 

Want to say a massive thank you to everyone we met in Liverpool this weekend. Everyone was so sound, what a night the Giz A Word girls Hayley and Rachel run.

Enjoy the podcast and have a whopper Bank Holiday!
