Terry is joined by the Pushcart-nominated, Chapbook Contest-winning, hard-punching badass boxing poet Raisa Tolchinsky!

Raisa talks about her life in the ring, on the page, and how both are similarly scary and liberating. She also reads a bit from a manuscript in progress and dives deep into her creative process.

Raisa Tolchinsky hails from Chicago and is currently an MFA candidate and instructor at the University of Virginia. Her poems, essays, stories, and interviews have appeared in Kenyon Review, Muzzle Magazine, December, and elsewhere. You can find more of her work at www.raisatolchinsky.com. 

Raisa's poems in Issue 03 of the Under Review: Bless the Boxing Ring & Some Things You Can't Understand by Punching Harder.
