An Interview with Katie Condon

I was lucky enough to get to talk with poet and academic Katie Condon about her new poetry collection Praying Naked. In the interview Katie delves into what made her begin to write poetry, why it's often a refuge for her and just what it means to make poetry today. Her work encompasses so many different aspects ranging from an unflinching look at sexuality and desire, to challenging the narrative handed down to women through the generations.This special bonus episode is taken from my Irish Radio Show This Be The Verse.You can buy Katie Condon's book here: http://www.katiecondonpoetry.com/praying-naked-1Katie Condon's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katie__condon/?hl=enWords That Burn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wordsthatburnpodcast/?hl=enContact me: https://wordsthatburnpodcast.com/contact Hosted on Acast.
