With both a T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry and Polari Prize under her belt, Joelle Taylor's distinctive voice is one for the ages. Her experiences of growing up in working-class Lancashire and finding community in the lesbian counterculture of 80s and 90s London are reflected in her six plays and four collections of poetry, which are searing and deeply personal explorations of class, gendered violence and queerness. In this episode she speaks to author Oisín McKenna about her new venture into surrealist fiction, The Night Alphabet, an electrifying tale beginning in a tattoo parlour in Hackney in 2233 and piecing together women’s stories across geographies and timespans.
