Jennifer Fossenbell shares and discusses excerpts from her manuscript “Commuter.” There is often a Matryoshka doll-like view of the world in these poems, where one structure of our reality is revealed to be buried within another.

My favorite part of the conversation was hitting on a brilliant interpretation of one of her poems that turns out to be totally wrong (yet I still stand by it!)

Foreignness, pregnancy, revising poems, and terrible election results are among the other topics we touch on.
