We discuss the West Bank and the everyday reality for the people living there — and how poetry can give a voice to the voiceless and make sense of senselessness. Along the way we chat about Albert Camus, the Beat Poets Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, Patrick&#39;s influences and upbringing in the South Wales valleys town of Blackwood with his brother Nicky Wire from the Manic Street Preachers, Punk Rock, the Ed Sheeran / Macklemore debacle and Patrick gives a live reading of one of his poems.
