BBC Radio Sheffield reading: A woman made from burnished gold

A few months ago I was on BBC Radio Sheffield reading my poem “A Woman Made From Burnish Gold” (first draft text).

They also wanted to interview me, which was fun. I should say I hadn’t really thought about what they might want to ask me (I assumed some poetry related questions) but even if I had prepared I don’t think I would have practised answering questions like “what makes you so amazing”.

I mean.

What is a God fearing Englishman meant to say to that?

I soldiered on regardless, enjoy.
