Podcast: Around the block

Image credit: Steve Mueller

Are you a narcissist and an exhibitionist? Or just a peeping Tom? If you’re a writer, you’re probably all of the above. Or at least, psychoanalyst Edmund Bergler would have thought so. He coined the phrase ‘writer’s block’ – that dreaded affliction that interferes with productivity and writerly confidence. But does writer’s block really exist?

Guest producer Sonja Dechian follows poet Bel Schenk as she searches for answers to these questions and tries to overcome the block in her own imagination.

Ambulances & Dreamers is available through Wakefield Press.
