A Cruelty Special to Our Species isn’t referring to the heat wave hitting NYC, even though some New Yorkers might disagree. Strap yourselves in (shout out to the anniversary of the moon lading this weekend!) as Marguerite makes up some new words, Emily guesses poets’ favorite colors, and Dame Maggie Smith gives an award— or at least someone named Maggie Smith does.
Featured Poets: Lorna Dee Cervantes, Emily Pauline Johnson/Emily Jungmin Yoon, Mary Lambert
Special thanks to Zach Adkins for the intro and outro music.
