In this week’s episode, Amy and Kim discuss the life and work of controversial child poet Nathalia Crane, whose poetry began receiving critical attention in 1924, when she was only 9 years old. The Janitor’s Boy and Other Poems was published when she was just 11. Was she the real thing or a brilliant hoax? Hear what Dorothy Parker and other luminaries had to say about Nathalia’s poetry and get the opinion of another 11-year old girl, Amy’s daughter, Julia, who makes a special guest appearance to read one of Nathalia’s poems.
