Is love always a positive thing? How many forms can it take? More importantly, how can we learn to accept it. These are all questions tackled in Henri Cole's poem Gravity and Center. In this week's episode we look at Henri Coles uniquely direct and sometimes abrasive style of poetry. We examine the unflinching biographical elements of his work and his incredible ability to evoke emotions in readers.
