My special guest was poet Dominic Berry who visited Ireland in World Vegan Month, 2012.
I'm delighted to report that Dominic is booked to return to Ireland for World Vegan Month 2017 as guest of the Vegan Information Project.
This is the original blurb...
I'm delighted to welcome Dominic Berry as my special guest for On Human-Nonhuman Relations Podcast 27. Dominic explains his views on veganism and describes how he became vegan after years as a vegetarian. He also talks about his fine work for Vegan Ireland when he visited Dublin in November 2012 for World Vegan Month. I ask Dominic about his third and most recent book of poems - a brilliant children's book entitled Dommy B Vs The Dragon Who Hates Poetry.
He also speaks about the vegan and poetry scene in Manchester, England, where he lives with his partner, and he talks about some of my favourite adult poetry of his which explore themes of being gay, "coming out" as a vegan, and gendered power relations.
While in Ireland, Dominic was extremely gracious with his time (and energy) and we filmed him perform in several location around Dublin, including Temple Bar, Cornucopia Wholefoods Restaurant, and University College Dublin (please scroll down below the embedded player for links to videos of Dominic's Irish performances, and his visit to Eden Farm Animal Sanctuary.)
