Chaos | Coded - with Isabelle Baafi

Send us a text

Chaos? We love it! Time to meet Isabelle Baafi and hear about her-hotly anticipated first full collection Chaotic Good just published by Faber. Among other things, it grapples with what it means to live a good and authentic life in a world full of challenges and unwanted expectations.

Plus Robin and Peter discuss the idea of délire - how language can at times deliriously overflow with meaning and burst the banks of logic. We'll glance again at Lewis Carroll, and reopen renowned UK poetry magazines Magma and The Rialto, and return with a gleaming pair of poems by Milena Williamson and Linda Ford. Chaos? Let's embrace it.
