This week, Lagnajita (https://www.facebook.com/lagnajitam/) and I, Imogen Arate (https://poetsandmuses.com/imogen-arate/), discuss our respective poems, "the skin you asked for" and "Our Vision," and being fetishized.
Check out this episode to also hear about virtual poetry events taking place during the week of May 11th.
