New Poems by Paul Stephenson, Published in Poetry Worth Hearing

‍ ‍

Paul Stephenson has been keeping busy this year (and last), with poems appearing across three recent issues of Poetry Worth Hearing, a wonderful online journal edited by Kathleen McPhilemy in the UK.

The unique feature of the magazine is that you can read the poems on the website but then hear them read by the poet on the magazine’s Spotify channel.
