Matthew Paul: Poetry & Stuff

I’ve written about Rod Whitworth on this blog before, here. Rod is a very fine poet and one of my fellow members of the fortnightly workshopping group, the Collective.

Rod has four outstanding poems in the latest issue – #97 – of the ever excellent Pennine Platform, which is one of my very favourite poetry journals, and I’m very pleased to see that over on the journal’s website, you can now have the treat of hearing Rod reading one of them, the beautifully tender ‘Still Growing’, and see a lovely artwork by Rod’s wife, Ange. The poem and image are here.
