READ TO ME is the Gateless Writing-inspired podcast that trains us to listen for what we love. In this episode, we first pay homage to Toni Morrison with a short excerpt from the perfect SULA, in honor of The Free Black Women's Library. Because Morrison shaped American literature, one reading isn't enough — so we also gravitate and catapult to Vickie Vértiz's poem, ONLY WE MAKE BEAUTIFUL THINGS JUST TO DESTROY THEM.
