Sanah Ahsan & Seán Hewitt: Poetry in Motion

Two versatile poets come together to discuss the distances travelled in their new collections. Sanah Ahsan’s I Cannot Be Good Until You Say It takes us across emotional and physical landscapes, meditating on Queerness and Islam, while Rapture’s Road by Seán Hewitt (Sunday Times 30 under 30 in Ireland) traces a haunting journey across love and loss. Hear them in conversation with Nasim Rebecca Asl.
