A series of four specials exploring the relationship between sounds and words and other forms of art. Each week, we will be discussing the connections between different pieces of work with a series of special guests. We'll be featuring great and innovative music, writing and art written by our favourite established artists and york students.
The idea of fishtail comes from Ouroboros, which is the image of a fish or reptile biting its own tail. It signifies something that is constantly recreating itself, something that pre-existed and is so powerful that it must continue. Of course, it also comes from the notion of a fisherman's tale. In our programme, we're going to be 'biting our tales' and circulating from one art form to the next.

I am convinced that the pop-punk giants who ruled the '90s and '00s produced lyrics to rival the titans of British Romantic verse. In this one-off gameshow, contestants need to separate John Keats from Jimmy Eat World, Samuel Taylor Coleridge from Sum-41, and Mary Robinson from Mayday Parade. Will they emerge fluent in the tongue of a romanticised but far-off revolution, or stumble back into the world as naïve as they were before? Find out on Pop Punk Poetry, where poetry readings and headbanging meet in a strange but beautiful union.
Every week, Lorna will have a different guest and book to discuss. We will debate literature, authors, poetry, plays and latest book recommendations. We may include live readings of student's work, both finished and in progress. Focusing mainly on speech, there will be a few funky tunes placed in too!
