A treat for the ears! It's Anna Jordan (Yen, Lost Atoms, Succession, Killing Eve)!
Anna made her name as a scriptwriter, but has now also published her debut poetry collection DECADE.
She co-runs runs Support Playwrights with Morgan Lloyd Malcolm; a group of theatre artists finding ways to support playwrights and create community - which can be found on Substack.
Join Anna and Molly for a conversation about CREATIVE FLOW. Find out what the optimum conditions are to find and help us figure out how to maintain it. Hear Anna's theory on 'us' writers versus 'them' writers. We also discuss alcohol, painting, approaches to planning and how to have a hobby over the age of 40.
Lovely stuff! Enjoy! Buy Decade this week - it's brilliant.
Generous, visceral and darkly comic. I love Anna’s huge-hearted writing — Sara Pascoe
These poems of love, of loss, and of longing are at once extraordinarily moving and exhilarating. There is an energy in the language and a richness of feeling that consistently move you forward and lead you inexorably from poem to poem. It’s called Decade for a reason but this collection seems to encompass lifetimes. I found it totally compelling — Timberlake Wertenbaker
