In this episode our resident poet So Mayer speaks to Will Harris and Nisha Ramayya about the how current situation is making our acquaintance with our subconscious uncomfortably close, guiding us through the past, future and the isolation dreamworld. They also settle, once and for all, the question on all of our lips: what even is language? Will's debut collection, Rendang, was published by Granta in February 2020. Nisha's collection, States of the Body Produced by Love was published by Ignota in September 2019.   - Produced by Dan Fuller Music by Antony Hurley
