Rebecca Perry & K Patrick: May We Feed the King
About this episode
Rebecca Perry discusses her debut novel 'May We Feed the King' with fellow poet K Patrick.
In Rebecca Perry’s May We Feed the King (Granta) the narrative switches between two increasingly intermingling timelines, medieval and contemporary, as a modern curator becomes absorbed in the story of a half-forgotten monarch struggling to maintain his rule. Perry is the author of two acclaimed poetry collections Beauty/Beauty and Stone Fruit and was in conversation about her debut novel with fellow poet K Patrick. Learn more about your ad choices.
