Happy New Year! We had another packed Pop Recs for our first King Ink of 2023, and a mint headline set by Alistair Robinson. We've included six poems in this episode: An Education by Helen Wilko, I Dream of Chocolate by Aaron Wright, Pearl by Liz Dean, Class by Stephen McGowan, plus The Tyneside Type and Hurry by Alistair Robinson. As always, thanks to all of our contributors, and to everyone who helped us kick off the year in style. King Ink is hosted by Helen Wilko and produced by James Whitman. This season is supported by Your Art funding from the Cultural Spring.
