Writing and Place: The North-East
As the 大象传媒 Proms broadcasts concerts from Sage Gateshead, Ian McMillan has been talking to a pair of writers from the North East about how that landscape has shaped their work.
Jessica Andrews grew up in Sunderland and has written two novels - Saltwater and Milk Teeth. Jake Morris-Campbell still lives in his native South Shields and his poetry includes the collection Corrigenda for Costafine Town and various Radio 3 commissioned pieces. He is a 大象传媒/AHRC New Generation Thinker. They talk to Ian McMillan, host of Radio 3's new writing programme The Verb, about how their sense of the North East of England has fed into their writing.
