On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, our guest is Laura Hyppolite, the author of a poetry anthology about culture, immigration, and identity called "Ordinary." Laura and her family immigrated from Haiti to America when she was eight years old and that experience helped inspire the poetry she finally gets to share with readers! She and I discuss poetry, writing, language learning, and swap some great book recommendations.
