a poetry experiment by nols nathanski.
poetry to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.
an experimental queer poetry podcast where poems are made and performed automatically, pushing the boundaries of the form.
each episode: a conversation with a poet, three timed automatic writing prompts done live – guest and nols both and then the open mic. no editing. no polish. just the poems that arrive.
we close every show the same way: a shout out, the name of a collection a poet haven’t written yet, and words of wisdom
about fifty minutes is always planned – but neurodivergence does what is does.

Fresh from our Hold Space Poetry Festival in the Crypt Gallery @nolsnathankski was given tickets for @spitnights biggest ever show @theroundhouse in Camden by his friend the sensational poet Hebah Aboud. @hebah_a
Nols decided to make some guerrilla radio by gauging audience reactions to a sell out night of spoken word & improv jazz in front of 1500 in a legendary venue.
The response from the crowd was overwhelmingly positive, but the night was a bit too big and loud for Nol’s tiny neurodivergent brain and this episode also celebrates the peace that comes from smaller and quieter spaces.
The night was headlined by superstar poets @georgiejones @maureenonuwali @caitlinoryan and @harrybaker – who it turns out Nols weirdly went to school with, something he obviously couldn’t stop telling bemused interviewees.
This episode is a series of chaotic field recordings interviewing members of the audience and staff at the roundhouse who nols forgot to make notes of the insta handles of- please tag yourselves!
Friend of the show @that1thea makes an appearance!
Nols did get 3 poems from a SUPER SPECIAL GUEST POET at the end of the night – live outside the Roundhouse! Listen until the end to find out who it was…
Prompt: Write a poem to perform in front of 1500 people.
