  • Too much chatter.

    The interviews are sloppy and informal with a good deal of meaningless chatter. It takes forever to get to meaningful content. I listened to two podcasts and felt I was wasting my time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Concetta Principe, "Disorder" (Gordon Hill Press, 2024)
Q: Can you remember in that sense where this book started?
The poem that probably started the collection isn't in it, but it was about blueberries and feeding my son for breakfast, which conveyed my emotional dysregulation.
Lorne Daniel, "What Is Broken Binds Us" (U Calgary Press, 2025)
Q: What's your advice on transferring those journal entries and making them into a poem?
Transforming journal entries involves editing for impact, conciseness, and relevance to a potential audience, plus focusing on metaphor and common human experiences.
Lorne Daniel, "What Is Broken Binds Us" (U Calgary Press, 2025)
Q: Did it start in a kind of an urge to explore some of these personal stories and struggles or did it start somewhere more outside of yourself?
The collection started very personally, with an urge to record factual experiences rather than forming traditional poems.
Anand, "The Notbook of Kabir: Thinner than Water, Fiercer than Fire" (India Viking, 2025)
Q: Please tell us a bit more about this unique yet shared consciousness with its own language, Kabir, and its own sovereignty, Kabirstan?
Anand explains that Kabirstan is a conceptual space emphasizing shared awareness and collective identity, transcending traditional binaries and societal constraints.
Anand, "The Notbook of Kabir: Thinner than Water, Fiercer than Fire" (India Viking, 2025)
Q: Could you please tell us a bit more about yourself and how you come to write this Notbook about Kabir?
Anand shares his journey of growing up around the complexities of caste and how music, poetry, and personal encounters shaped his understanding of Kabir.
