In our 14th episode — and the second episode of our third season — co-host Jerome Moore and Scene managing editor Alejandro Ramirez are joined by poet and organizer Ciona Rouse. As Alejandro wrote in a recent feature, despite Nashville’s thriving poetry scene, Nashville doesn’t have a poet laureate. We talk about that, local poetry events, our most active poets and more.
