In this series, she invites us into her life, showing us how books have the power to change your life. Sally has recently been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, but this is not a misery memoir podcast; she shows us how literature and connection to nature can console and give courage and insight.

    Night Contradicts the Day
    2026/06/08

    ‘Hölderlin’s lovely blueness

    you hold to you,

    it is tensile

    through the smeared glass’

    This week, we join Sally in conversation with poet, critic, and translator Stephen Romer, following the recent publication of his latest poetry pamphlet, Night Contradicts the Day. Listen for reflections on the intimacies - or otherwise - of care, empathy and its absence, and the challenge laid down by the neurodivergent mind. The poems in this pamphlet also stress the redemptive power of the aesthetic.

    Stephen’s pamphlet is published by Dare-Gale Press, and can be purchased here.

    The Lizst piece mentioned is the famous B-Minor Sonata, and can be listened to here.

    This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.

    Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.

    ‘To find a way in, through the door, beyond the doubt…’

    This week, we join Sally wrestling with the problem of doubt, having just sent her latest novel, Pond Life, to the printers. Listen for a reflection on writing, the body, and the generative possibilities of doubt, via Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.

    Pond Life will be published in September 2026 by The New Menard Press, and can be pre-ordered here.

    The wonderful piano music in the closing section is the appropriately titled ‘Doubt’ by Paul Seba. More information on Paul and his work can be found here.

    This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.
