Can writing a poem make you a better novelist? According to Cathi Rae, the answer is a resounding yes.
In this episode, Cathi joins Beth and Mary to discuss her Writing Magazine series, ‘An Introduction to Writing Poetry.’ We chat about the ‘old question’ of whether to rhyme, the benefits of spoken word events, and how to find your specific starting point when the page is blank.
In this episode, we explore:
* The accessibility gap: How to change the narrative around ‘difficult’ poetry.
* The prose connection: How poetry helps you master rhythm and tension in any form.
* The power of voice: Cathi’s work as a sustainable stylist and campaigner for the visibility of older women.
* Publishing & performance: Practical tips for getting your books out there and finding an audience.
