My short story The Town Marshal was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 as part of The Poet and the Echo: a short story series in which writers choose poems as inspiration for new stories. You can listen back to it HERE.

The story was inspired by a poem from Edgar Lee Masters’s intoxicating Spoon River Anthology (1915) which I found via reading about Lincoln in the Bardo (2017) by George Saunders, one of my favourite novels of recent years.

It was produced by Naomi Walmsley and read by Carl Prekopp.
