Excellent review of an excellent book

The wonderful @jenbowden12.bsky.social had me on her equally wonderful #NorthernVoices to chat about Mother Naked, but also language, place, and the obstacles we often self-impose when it comes to creative expression. Even if my voice does your nut, do listen to Jen's other 59 episodes!

This is the most wonderful, considered - and insightful - discussion of my book I've ever read. Thank you @lmcraeandrew.bsky.social I'm humbled and awed.
