268: Culture Club: LGBTQ+ Poetry with Otamere Guobadia
Season 6, Ep. 268
•
Listeners- why not add some queer poetry to your reading lists this January? Today we are thrilled to be joined by writer, journalist and model Otamere Guobadia. He is a regular contributor for the likes of Vogue and The Guardian, with his writing striking at the heart of issues that we battle with in every day life and within the LGBTQ+ community. Most excitingly, he’s published his debut poetry collection - Unutterable Visions, Perishable Breath'- it’s a beautiful exploration of queer love and desire - and in Otamere’s words, helping us to understand and process ‘the things we can’t define’.
