New Spoken Label Podcast - Hannah Ledlie

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word / Poetry Podcast) featuring making her debut, the amazing Hannah Ledlie. Hannah is an Edinburgh-born, Manchester-based writer, interested in form and futurism. In 2015 she was shortlisted for the BBC Young Writers’ Award, and in 2019 she was a winner of Penguin’s ‘Platform Pride’ poetry competition.

We both would like to apologise for this error. Her Instagram page is: https://www.instagram.com/hannahledlie/ her email address is: hannahledlie@gmail.com

New Spoken Label Session - Adrian Slatcher

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Author Chat Podcast) features making his debut, Adrian Slatcher.

Adrian Slatcher was born in Staffordshire in 1967. He studied English at Lancaster University, and creative writing at the University of Manchester. He has co-edited several literary magazines, and is a trustee of Castlefield Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Manchester. His fiction has featured in a number of anthologies, including Best British Short Stories. He has published two poetry pamphlets: Extracts from Levona (2010) and Playing Solitaire for Money (2010).

This Podcast primarily talks about his debut stories collection Loners.

Loners is a collection of six stories by Adrian Slatcher, three of which are published for the first time. It also features images created by the artist Steven Heaton in response to the stories. The book is the second in a series of collaborations between writers and artists - the first, Interpolated Stories by David Rose and Leah Leaf, was published in 2022.

The stories vary widely in form, from ‘Last Testament of a Lighthouse Keeper’, ostensibly a written journal, to ‘sleeveless itchery and parched throat’, an unpunctuated monologue. While all six stories are about ‘loners’ in one way or another, it would be wrong to think of the characters as being without hope – in each case, their isolation is something they are trying to break out of, in search of redemption, often after some kind of trauma. The characters are loners out of either choice or circumstance, but it is never easy to be alone.

The book can be purchased here - https://www.confingopublishing.uk/loners
