In this week's episode with poet and professor Leonora "Leo" Simonovis, we'll hear what it means to live off the land and not be from it, how the way we're taught has an affect on the way we write as writers, and what is worth sacrificing to be a writer.

Leo's recent collection of poetry: Study of the Raft

Leo's favorite Venezuelan poet: Hanni Ossott (7 poemas en español)
