J. L. Williams (also known as one of our former podcast hosts, Jennifer Williams) recently published a new collection After Economy (Shearsman), inspired by nanotechnology and a vision of a post-capitalist society. In May, she launched the book at Edinburgh's Talbot Rice Gallery, accompanied by cellist Atzi Muramatsu. In the latest episode of the SPL's podcast series, we include excerpts of Williams' and Muramatsu's performance, plus Williams talks about the inspiration behind After Economy.

JL Williams- After Economy

When she was growing up in rural New Jersey, JL Williams  wrote a play about pirates. Today, Williams is best known as a poet,  but she has continued to sail across various genres, including visual  arts, dance, theatre, and, most recently, opera. Although Williams may  have put pirates long behind her, associations with the sea, and the  dramatic portrayal of a vividly realised world, still run deep in her  poetry, as Suzannah V. Evans discovered when she caught up with her at StAnza poetry festival in 2018. Read more about this podcast at our blog.
