Between Care and Writing with Will Harris
What began as a flight from writing led to a deeper understanding of care—not as moral virtue, but as undervalued, essential labor. In this episode, poet and writer Will Harris shares reflections from his time working in East London care homes during the pandemic’s aftermath. Harris discusses the limits of storytelling, the “texture of speech,” and how poetry informs his new project capturing the voices and failures embedded in the UK’s public care system.
