In this episode I talk with romesh dissanayake.
romesh's amazing novel when I open the shop (Te Herenga Waka University Press) was launched about a month ago.
I was really grateful that romesh and I were able to have a chat. I asked romesh to bring along an object as a way into a conversation about his book and this stage of its publication. romesh suggested Água Viva by Clarice Lispector.
It was such a great conversation.
Here are some links about some of the things we talk about:

Louise Wallace – On poetic form in romesh dissanayake’s novel When I open the shop in The Poetry Shelf
