This week on the Penguin Podcast, Derek Owusu talks to playwright and poet, Yomi Sode. Yomi joins us to discuss his debut poetry collection, Manorism.  Derek and Yomi also discuss the influence of Carravagio and the double standards of celebrating the art and the artist, the power of stillness to create reflection, how pop culture influences poetry, and cultural appropriation and the ways in which we perpetuate and endorse it. Don't forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode, and do leave us a review as it really does help.
