In this episode Adam and Dylan discuss the nature of being a creative in turbulent times, the effects of public discussion on personal life, Jericho Brown's Hustle, Hannah Grace Nemetz Todd's Eli Dreams Nos 1-9, the ghazal as a self-incriminating form, as well as what we're looking for in our now-running essay contest.
