What is the similarity between a nanny and a poet? Overlooked labour, or the topic Kim and Hà Trang engage in in today's episode.
Hà Trang starts the conversation with extracts from the 2016 Prix Goncourt winner novel Lullaby byLeïla Slimani, which opens with the murder of two children by the family's nanny. Kim diverts from the traditional labour and delves into artistic labour with poem "Poet's Work" by Lorine Niedecker, asking whether poetry that sells should be so demoralized and so commenting on the famous example of Rupi Kaur. Although both agree that Kaur's poetry is not appealing to them, they cannot deny the fact that her work is widely appreciated all over the world.
