The Upswell podcast operates in the city of Perth, on ancient country of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation who remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of this beautiful land. We acknowledge their continuing connection to country and express gratitude to elders past and present for their strength and creativity. Each month we invite an Upswell author to come and have an open conversation about their work, and how it ties in with ideas about literature, culture, and beyond. The Upswell podcast is not just about the books we are publishing, but is interested in the whole sphere of the arts and cultural activities, the social, and the political. The music used in this podcast is Mark Isaacs's composition "Have one more" played by Simon Tedeschi, for the ABC recording "Tender Earth".

"Not Quite Super-Normal" - A Conversation with Stuart Barnes (Part II)

TW: Sexual violence

In this episode, I talk to Stuart Barnes about his book of poetry, Like to the Lark, which was released by Upswell on the 2nd of February 2023.

We discuss Stu's life experiences that fed into Like to the Lark, as well as "queering and querying" language, perspectives on the moon, and how being a poet might affect your dating life.

Given the extraordinary attention paid to different poetic forms displayed so thrillingly in Like to the Lark, Stu has added some Notes on Form at the end of the book. You can read these in full here:

The music in this episode is Mark Isaacs's composition "Have one more" played by Simon Tedeschi, for the ABC recording "Tender Earth".
