Can writing poetry be a revolutionary act?

We discuss questions of audience, poetry, and the avant-garde.

We aired a recording of Steven J. Saari reading his poetry, Candy Shue joined us live in the studio to read her review of Hazel White's "Peril as Architectural Enrichment", and we had an impromptu roundtable discussion on the art of reviews and nature poetry.

Chris discusses Fernando Pessoa, translation, personas, poetry as a social act, and the role of poetry in late capalism.

Chris discusses his chapbook "porous, nomadic", the baroque, and his work as a translator. We open and close with an excerpt from his reading of Shelley's Ode to the West Wind at Occupy Oakland in 2011.
