Description
It's our 100th episode! Sort of - we may have slightly lost count. But there is still plenty of cause for celebration as we are in the company of poet, author, memoirist and actor Yrsa Daley-Ward! Her poetry collection Bone was widely acclaimed while her memoir The Terrible won the PEN/Ackerley Prize. She co-wrote Black Is King with Beyonce and her latest book is The How described as "a gratifying exploration of the self". We talked to her about the best books to listen to, the genius of Jeanette Winterson, finding books on stoops and books that induce calm.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - InsatiableDaisy Buchanan - CareeringYrsa Daley-Ward - The TerribleYrsa Daley-Ward - The HowJeanette Winterson - Oranges Are Not the Only FruitJeanette Winterson - Written on the BodyHelen Oyeyemi - Boy Snow BirdJonathan Swift - Gulliver's TravelsJenny Slate - Little WeirdsTa-Nehisi Coates - Between the World and MeHelen Oyeyemi - PeacesSpike Milligan - Collected PoetryRolad Dahl - James and the Giant PeachRoger McGough - Collected PoteryVātsyāyana - Kama SutraAlice Walker - Colour PurpleAlice Walker - By the Light of my Father's SmileToni Morrison - SulaToni Morrison - BelovedJeanette Winterson - Sexing the CherrySamantha Hunt - The SeasPhyllis Grant - Everything is Under ControlAnnie Dillard - Pilgrim at Tinker CreekHanya Yanagihara - A Little LifeOcean Vuong - On Earth We're Briefly GorgeousKiese Laymon - HeavyPatricia Lockwood - No One is Talking About ThisSamantha Hunt - The Dark DarkAlice Walker - Collected StoriesCarmen Maria Machado - Her Body and Other PartiesCarmen Maria Machado - In The Dream HouseAkwaeke Emezi - Death of Vivek OjiAkwaeke Emezi - Fresh WaterKevin Wilson - Nothing To See Here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
