Poet and author, Dom Conlon, thinks out loud about children's poetry and its place in our lives and then reads just one poem. Each episode is short and nourishing, like a bite to eat before bedtime. All poems are read by kind permission of their authors.
If any of the content has made you think about poetry then talk to Dom on social media @domconlon on Bluesky or Instagram.
