We've delved into poetry on a few rare occasions on The Hobcast Book Show, so it feels right we explore it again with our guest, Maria Cohut. Maria's most recent published collection is Spatter Pattern, in which she takes inspiration from her love of classic crime fiction to give her poetry a narrative theme and power. As Maria tells us, she wants to explore challenging themes, particularly around gender-related violence, and leaning into crime fiction themes and metaphors gave her greater freedom creatively. This is a fascinating and thought-provoking interview.
Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca react to the news that next year's Crimefest will be the last, and ask with that platform gone, how will up-and-coming crime authors get their voices heard?
