How can poetry make room for versions of ourselves that the everyday world doesn’t accommodate? How can it reckon with the perma-crisis we’re living in? Whether questioning the limits of our comprehension, revising the Tarot to create a whole new cast of characters, or writing new bodies and identities into the record, poets Jane Arthur, Jake Arthur, and Sylvan Spring put their own spin on what it means to be alive right now. They appeared in conversation with Pip Adam on 22 July 2024 as part of our Writers on Mondays programme at Te Papa.
