This week I had a conversation with the writer Rachel McAlpine.

You can check out Rachel’s blogging and podcasts at her site.

You should also check out her new book of poems, How To Be Old, which I loved!

Rachel’s first book of poems was published in 1975. Since then she’s written novels, non-fiction, plays, and more poems. She is a force of nature. And a terrific writer.

We chatted a lot about Rachel’s brand new book and the research and epiphany that went into shaping it. And she reads some of the poems from the book. But we also had a nice chat about a few other things besides; particularly the writer’s life – a writing life.

I loved talking to Rachel and I hope you enjoy hearing this conversation. This is episode 224 of Sweetman Podcast – my conversation with Rachel McAlpine.
