Govanhill is a place of many languages, voices, and histories. Seán’s latest poetry collection, Govanhill Mythologies, captures the layered experiences of the area—its sounds, its myths, and its contradictions. Writing in English, French, Gaelic, and the Glasgow dialect, he offers an immersive experience that reflects the complexity of identity, class, and belonging. In this interview, we discuss the impact of multilingualism on poetry, the myths that shape Glasgow, and what it means to write from a place that is constantly shifting.

In this interview with Grace Dewar, author and artist T. S. IDIOT reflects on his journey from punk-inspired lyricist to published poet, exploring his creative process, the role of community, and the evolution of his craft.
