Please join me for a conversation with poet, teacher, astrologer, Tarot reader, Substacker, Dantologist, and soon-to-be-novelist Emmalea Russo. We discuss her “poetic cancellation,” the politics of the occult, the relation between magic and poetry, her collection Confetti, Dante and Spenser, her novel and mine, our favorite poets and novelists and the astrological implications thereof, astrology in general and her astrological readings in particular, horror movies in general and Altered States in particular, and more.

Readings:

Emmalea’s “canceled” collection Magenta, free to read on her website

Emmalea’s essay on her poetic cancellation: “Purity Policing Is Poison to Poetry”

Emmalea’s previous collection Graffiti Confetti

Emmalea’s Substack, Cosmic Edges, currently touring the Divine Comedy
