Isy Suttie, Pascale Petit, Deryn Rees Jones, Alan Connor
Ian McMillan's guests this week are the writer and crossword editor Alan Connor, Isy Suttie - comedian singer and novelist, and two poets, Pascale Petit and Deryn Rees Jones
Ian McMillan is joined by four guests for more poetry and performance .
After a year characterised by wet weather, Alan Connor constructs a poem from 188 Words for Rain collected on travels around the country for his new book with that title. Comedian and writer Isy Suttie treats us to a new song written with the approaching Bonfire Night in mind, but the fireworks in the studio don't only come from her guitar. The other guests get a chance to join in too.
Poet Pascale Petit opens up her first novel which took 17 years to write, examining the differences and similarities between poetry and prose and Deryn Rees Jones reads from her own work and takes on this week's neon line, "all the worse things come stalking in".
