In this episode, we discuss and get inspired by an Adrienne Rich poem. We consider travelling with a poet through life, tolerating ignorance in a poem and the courage to write poetry.

Adrienne Rich, along with Alice Walker and Audre Lord,  took a stand at the National Book Awards based on politics and identity. We describe 'telescoping' in poetry creation, give it a go and invite you to send your responses over to our Facebook page.
