Events with Natalee Caple

    • "How do we love when all around us is hate?" (RM Vaughan, THIS Magazine, 22/10/2019)

To write my recent book of poetry I filled myself up with other people's poetry and then I wrote the poems those poems wrote in me."
    • E143 with ALEXANDRA PASIAN and NATALEE CAPLE (Jamie Tennant, GET LIT, 14/08/2019)
