Now out for everyone! Episode 2 of our sister Working Class Literature podcast about Joseph Skipsey, a poet and coal miner from the North East of England whose father was murdered by police during a strike. After entering the mines as a child, he would grow up to become a nationally-renowned poet, respected by some of the most famous artists of the nineteenth century like Oscar Wilde. In this episode, we speak to researcher Dr Gordon Tait and musician Chris Harrison, both of whom have been doing lots of work around Skipsey’s life and poetry.
