Surprise! We got a bonus minisode for you! In this episode, Miriam and Ashtar read two poetry collections for this conversation: Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong and Content Warning: Everything by Akwaeke Emezi. This episode felt a little vulnerable to record because reading and talking about poetry is hard! Listen in to hear our thoughts on the poetry genre at large, these particular collections specifically, and a reading of some of our favorite passages.
