This week, Vida De Jesus (https://www.instagram.com/novenavida/) and I, Imogen Arate (https://poetsandmuses.com/imogen-arate/), discuss our respective poems, "Animal Brain" and "Wanton," and desire.
Since last week, a couple of regular poetry events have moved online, so please check those out in our announcements.
