Loop
A Poet in Public/In Private
In late 2022 Leyla Josephine's debut poetry book, In Public/In Private was published, with a whirlwind tour around England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This documentary witnesses the performance poet at the top of her game, as she pauses for breath in her adopted home town of Prestwick. In an exclusive recording from the beach, Leyla reads Questions I Have for Birds - and gets ready for her much-anticipated, packed homecoming gig at Glasgow's King Tut's Wah Wah Hut
Loop airs on BBC Scotland at 11:50 PM, Thursday 23 July. (Subtitles, repeat, subtitles, repeat.)
