Richard Price - the Owner of the Sea

"Song is very powerful...it's not a truth teller, it's a state-changer."



Richard Price joins today's show to discuss his collection of 'Three Inuit Stories Retold.' Published by Carcanet, the book was a Scotsman Book of the Year in 2021, and Richard joined me to discuss the challenges of retelling these tales.
