In this episode, Jackson Nieuwland and I have a talk about two poems.

‘gently’ by Crispin Best which you can read here

Crispin Best also has a beautiful website here

And Jackson’s poem ‘I am a photographer’, which comes from their new book I am a human being which is available for pre-order at Compound Press

‘Jackson Nieuwland is a human being, duh. They are a genderqueer writer, editor, librarian, and woo-girl, born and based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. They co-founded the reading/zine series Food Court. This isn’t even their final form.’
