In today's episode I chat with poet, writer and international rap battler Mark Grist. We talk about performance, audiences and community, success, who you choose to write for, how to write a poem for the stage, and share our worst gigs ever. It's a good chat! Here's Mark's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MontyGristo/ Website: http://www.markgrist.com/ Twitter: @montygristo If you'd like to support me you can grab my two novels THE HONOURS and THE ICE HOUSE (best read in that order). Due to stock shortages both links are to Amazon, but if you can grab them from your local bricks & mortar stores that would be dandy: THE HONOURS: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Honours-Tim-Clare/dp/1782114793/ THE ICE HOUSE: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ice-House-Tim-Clare/dp/1786894823 And you can support this podcast and help me make more free content for writers by dropping me something here: https://ko-fi.com/timclare
