4.5 out of 5 stars from 839 ratings
  • Poetry as political statement

    I am incredibly distracted by the need of poets to be focused primarily on the blackness or the queerness of their “work”. They focus on their uniqueness which is not universal, but is often mediocre art.

    I’m here for art and poetry not nauseating cliche’s about postmodern chicks and racial metaphors in the guise of cats. Gah. Ghastly. Gone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sasha Debevec-McKenney Reads Gabrielle Calvocoressi
Q: Is there anything you want people to know about the poem first?
I mean, I would just like them to know that I submitted this to The New Yorker, and it took a little while, and then they took it out of the slush pile.
Sasha Debevec-McKenney Reads Gabrielle Calvocoressi
Q: What was it about this particular poem that caught your attention?
I just love this poem. It's so important to me. It feels like it's a part of me and I just want other people to read it.
Erika Meitner Reads Philip Levine
Q: What was it about this poem that caught your eye?
So, there's so many things about this poem that I love. Back when I was about 15, I bought a used copy for 25 cents of a Poulin Jr.'s contemporary American poetry from a library sale. In reading through the poems in that anthology, this poem stood out to me as, first of all, I didn't know poetry could be so narrative and so accessible.
Dobby Gibson Reads Diane Seuss
Q: How do you characterize Diane Seuss's voice in her poetry?
Dobby describes it as not entirely vernacular but extraordinary in its details and bluntness, showcasing a compelling directness that pulls readers into her work.
Dobby Gibson Reads Diane Seuss
Q: What was it about this poem that caught your attention when you were looking through the archive?
