This week, Aaron Bushnell <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68405119">immolated himself</a> to protest the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In tribute, I read <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43843/prometheus-56d222b61d799">Lord Byron's poem "Prometheus," </a>which resonates with Bushnell's sacrifice. I also refer to Vietnamese monk <a href="https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/the-burning-monk-1963/">Thích Quảng Đức</a>, who immolated himself in protest in 1963.

On The Talking Poem Podcast, writer and teacher Charlie Green invites on a poet, critic, or reader to bring in any poem they'd like to discuss. The poem could be old or new, well-known or obscure, and they follow the poem and conversation where they turn. After they talk about the poem, there will be some silliness, a poetry game, and a conversation about poetry more generally. New episodes will be released every two weeks.
