In this episode, Claire chats to poet Barry Hollow about his debut collection “Viaducts and River Views” published in late 2022 with The Black Cat Poetry Press. This fantastic collection explores the relationship with home and belonging, the nostalgia that comes from leaving home and the feeling of discovering a new one. “Viaducts and River Views” builds between its pages a sense of journey through an exploration of place, nature, self and the lyrical nature of language.
Barry, originally from Ayrshire, now lives in Bristol. He has featured and performed regularly on BBC Radio and spoken word showcases across the South West (Ledbury Poetry Festival; Bristol Literature Festival, Lyrafest). Barry has also been published in a variety of anthologies and poetry journals. You can find him on Instagram @thehollowgram.
