About Staying Attuned

From the publisher's feed

A poetic gaze, backwards and forward, with folks both brilliant and humble. The format is simple: Sam Pepple reads one of his poems aloud and the guest responds. They then continue a meandering conversation, a conversation with levity and depth, touching on themes from creativity to recovery, from privilege to courage.
