Recorded live at the Whitby Hotel, Zibby interviews renowned, #1 New York Times bestselling poet Kate Baer about her latest work, a raw, luminous, and urgent collection titled HOW ABOUT NOW. Kate opens up about the health crisis that reshaped her life and work, her evolving relationship with her body, and the lingering impact of past trauma. She also talks candidly about motherhood, marriage, anxiety, and the strange intimacy of writing poems that expose so much and still leave room for humor and tenderness.
