Aid for Palestinians in need: Anera; Palestine Children's Relief Fund; Medical Aid for Palestinians.

I talk with poet Joy Priest (Horsepower; Once a City Said: A Louisville Poets Anthology) about Carl Phillips' "Somewhere Holy." Afterward, we talk about Joy's poem "All the Men that Summer who Said I Love You" (scroll down for her poem). Finally, we play a game I call "Mommas, Don't Let Your AIs grow up to be Poets."

Also mentioned: Joy's poem "Upon Reading James Lipton's An Exaltation of Larks"; Garth Greenwell's essay on Carl Phillips; Kevin Young's use of tercets in his poems; a review of "Once a City Said" at The Poetry Question.
