On this podcast, I chat with acclaimed Canadian poet John Barton about his new book Compulsory Figures. During the conversation, we touch on topics from family through the lens of the father and patriarchy, and move onto contemporary issues before ending with more Queer focused discussion.

The book is a masterful collection of poems that evokes deep emotional involvement from the reader. It is available from Caitinpress.com or your local independent bookstore.
