A double dose of Norfolk poets on this edition with Andy Bennett and Russell J Turner reading sonnets from this year’s edition of the annual project 28 Sonnets Later, in which four poets take it in turns to write a sonnet for each day in February. You can hear Andy on this previous episode talking about the sonnet form and it’s great to welcome Russell J Turner for his Poetry Non-Stop debut. Also check out previous episodes by the other 28 Sonnets Later contributors Fay Roberts and Leanne Moden.
Andy Bennett is a poet and performer. He likes history and tries not to be too serious.
Russell J Turner is an actor, poet, broadcaster and mathematician based in Norwich. He is a co-founder of the 28 Sonnets Later collective, presents Sound of the Suburbs on Future Radio, and survives solely on a diet of caffeine and nicotine which he metabolises into useful nutrients
