Today’s episode was recorded live on June 28th, 2021 on Zoom. Tony Soto is back as our host after a short sabbatical. We start with our open mic and then get right into our headliners. First, is Anthony Aguero, a queer writer who currently lives in Los Angeles. His work has been nominated twice for a Pushcart Prize and his first collection of poetry, Burnt Spoon Burnt Honey, is to be published in January 2022 with Flower Song Press. Then we have Adrian Silbernagal, a queer and transgender writer and educator in Lousiville, KY. He is the writer of the blog "Thinking Queerly" for the publication Queer Kentucky and facilitates inclusivity workshops through the organization as well. Adrian has published two books of poetry - 'Transitional Object,' published in 2019 with The Operating System, and 'Late Style,' published in 2021 with Nanny Goat Press.
