Malakaï Sargeant and Anna Kahn talk with Bayan Goudarzpour﻿ about her poem 'Dear Jolene'. We talk about expanding each thought in a poem, adding structure to longer pieces (through form? through repetition?), about Bayan's guilty pleasure love of the excellent book-buying human that is Dolly Parton, and about what the word 'auburn' actually means.

Episode 8: Dear Jolene

Put 3-4 poets in a room with a not-too-drafted poem, lots of squash to drink, and occasionally some cats. See what they say.

Unfinished Edits is a poetry editing workshop run in Barbican Young Poet Anna Kahn's living room and then put in the internet (because her living room is too small for all of you.) We try to be generous and thoughtful editors, and sometimes we succeed.
