An episode from 3/21/21: Tonight is a bit of an experiment in what might become a podcast diary/autobiography. I begin with a poem I wrote when I was 18, and use that as a jumping-off place to wonder where my stubbornness, confidence, and early thoughts on art and creativity came from. It may not work at all.

Don’t forget to support Human Voices Wake Us on Substack, where you can also get our newsletter and other extras. You can also support the podcast by ordering any of my books: Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone.

Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to [email protected].
