Friends, thanks very much for listening to Poetry Unbound.

Whether you're new or whether you've listened to them all,

your attention makes everything worthwhile.

And I've got some news.

I've written a book, Poetry Unbound 50 poems to open your world.

There's 50 poems each with a fresh essay written by me.

I'd love it if you'd pre-order it or pre-order a few

and join up to our free interactive newsletter,

links to everything at poetryunbound.org.

My name is Podrigotuma and there's probably nothing I prefer more

than spending a full day cooking for a party

that's going to happen in the evening.

One time some guests around the table,

not all of whom knew each other,

I saw two people fall in love.

It happened just like sunrise.

I could see it happening and I thought

something's going on here.

Another time a fight broke out.

Another time you heard somebody say something that they had probably never said before.

What happens when on the table always moves me.

It's not just about the food.
