Description

I barely let this poet get a word in edgewise, there is something deeply, deeply wrong with me. Ryan and I have a good ol time talking about our various coping panini-majora mechanisms and he deficiently doesn't try to therapize me with his thera--ra--pizing eyes. Ryan read an exclusive! written for this show! original poem! We touch on several of the most modern of poetics, including but not limited to; the dreaded stalwart typos that survive many many many proof readings, while perhaps not death of the author but a very deep sleep of one, how important (or not) having another poet-in-arms is as you write, and about allowing the element of the fictive to exits as readers. We also talk about ...dun--dun--DUN, self publishing! No wait come back! It's a valid option for...hello? Ryan called my show life changing! Does that help? Am I interesting again? I fuck up a Robert Frost reading too!

No one is gonna set those laurel leaves on your head, my void inhabitants. You know what you have and what you are; you put in the work, you are a writer. Claim it!
