Today I welcome poet Clem Flowers to the show. Clem is originally from the South but now calls Salt Lake City home. We talk about some of their collections such as LUSH EYED// BLEED MOONSHINE, New Pansies For The Blue Dogs, and I'VE BEEN GOING THRU SOME THINGS. When I started reading Clem's work, I completely fell in love with it. I encourage you to check it out! Links below.
Clem even wrote a poem for Salt Lake Dirt called Instruments of Lavender, which I was completely blown away by. I'm honored and will treasure this act of generosity forever. Thank you Clem. Scroll to the bottom to read it.
Thanks for listening!

Instruments of Lavender
[For Salt Lake Dirt]
Feel the warm earth beneath
aching hands & tired arches
Br e a th e
D e e p
Whip up feel your heart wrapped around a vienesse waltz light
snatches down your spine hunger
shines high in your skull & the poor
soul aches for a
new freedom inches away & then
it's dawn - the streetlights have all
been snatched away. You still see
the moon over the mountains
& grin
the blue dogs sing
you “Mojo Pin” by
Jeff Buckley as
you drift back
to sleep
Cacti blue flax sage
they'll keep you
safe & warm all day
