On this episode of the Hive, Billy Butler talks with local Santa Cruz-area poet Chestina Craig about her book Daughter of Salt, forthcoming from Picture Show Press later this March. Topics include: marine biology, the best worst reality TV shows, the joy and unbearable weirdness of being in Santa Cruz, finsta accounts, and more. Chestina will be reading poems from her new book on an  Instagram livestream (@chesseea) on March 19 at 7pm PST.
