Cures any writer’s block

I felt excited as I listened to this wonderful unravelling of poems and insight into how you can build your own. Actionable lessons to help you put together your own poetry collection. I would have liked each discussed poem to be read again after the explanation (like Padraig does in the ‘Poetry unbound’ podcast). I will buy the physical copy so that I can work through gradually with the poems in front of me. For the audio version, I would have appreciated a downloadable workbook containing the poems, for printing and easy reference.
