Poet, academic and cultural historian, Luke Thompson, is joined, in what promises to be a conversation full of furry surprises, by fellow animal-lover, Tiffany Murray.

Luke’s latest book continues his grand tradition of defying tidy categorisation. It rejoices in the title, Domadomadoma-Blumblumblum: Conversations with Other Animals - the first part being a transcript of a mongoose when it first tried to speak English. His latest book explores the world of animal communication through the ages, from King Solomon to telepaths, by way of dolphin-masturbating psychonauts and poltergeist mongooses on the Isle of Man.
