045 - What Makes A Poet? (Taher Adel)

Taher Adel is a British poet of Bahraini descent. His phenomenal poetry can be found all over Instagram and in a variety of publications, which tackle life, love, faith and the Arabic language. He published his first poetry collection Lost&Foundin April 2018. The collection is chronicling selections of his work from his first dabblings in poetry to the present day, much of the work in this book focuses on the relationship between the Almighty and his creations. He was also poet in residence for Wells-next-the-sea in 2019 alongside Jennifer Lee Tsai. His poetry has also been published in Ambit, SMOKE Magazine, The New European, Gulf Daily News, Glassworks Magazine, Tedx, Poetry London Magazine and Poetry Salzburg Review. We were lucky enough to have a deep and insightful conversation with Taher, where we discussed relearning poetry, taking on criticism, battling with the ego, separating poetry from the self and trying to answer the biggest question of all: what makes a poet?
