Raymond Wallace

There’s nothing we like more than to highlight the exceptional talents of our queer literary community, so it’s our pleasure to bring you Am Not Raymond Wallace by debut author Sam Kenyon. Manhattan, 1963: Raymond lands in the New York Times newsroom on a three-month bursary from Cambridge University. To his surprise, he’s tasked with a journalistic investigation into the ‘explosion of overt homosexuality’ in the city. On an undercover assignment, a secret world is revealed to Raymond, one which will awaken repressed desires; a world in which he meets Joey. This is the story of a generation of queer men seeking a community, kinship, love, acceptance, and ultimately redemption. We can’t wait for you to fall in love with it. ‘A beautiful story… elegantly told and utterly heartbreaking. You’ll need tissues.’ - Julie Owen Moylan, author of That Green Eyed Girl The novel is available now, published by independent press Inkandescent. Discover this and many of their brilliant titles including Address Book by Costa shortlisted author Neil Bartlett, as well as Mainstream, an anthology of stories with contributions from writers that we love including Kit de Waal and Kerry Hudson, among others. We recommend buying their books from your local indie bookshop or you can get it from our shop at Bookshop.org.Podcast produced and edited by Megan Bay DormanProgrammed by Matt Casbourne Learn more about your ad choices.

A Wake Up Call with Sam Kenyon -  Flash Floods & Natural Management Solutions

It was lovely to spend time talking to Sam on her sunny farm in Denbighshire in North Wales. Sam, who met her husband, Alex whilst backpacking around Australia and Thailand came back to the farm a few years ago. Both had been diving instructors in Thailand and had seen the destruction and pollution being created by humans. On coming back to Wales, to take over the running of the family farm, Sam has taken on the gauntlet of 'If we want to be SEE the change, we need to BE the change'.  Sam is building up her flock of sheep, and her herd of goats to work with the farm, not against it. Living alongside a river that floods annually, she is reclaiming tenanted land back along the river and returning it to meadow land, to ease erosion and take advantage of the nutritious silt that is left behind. Being curious, asking questions, working on other farms and taking advantage of training by Farming Connect has been invaluable.  Sam's passion for what she has achieved and will achieve is inspiring! Enjoy hearing her talk about Glan Llyn.  @glanllyn_farmher
