The Corner

The Corner is back! This episode is a celebration in a different way. This time around, I'm the one being interviewed! On March 17th, 2016, my first poetry collection, Analog Poems, was released into the world! Ten years! Woah! (To be said in the best Keanu voice.) This episode is a celebration of that and my own creative process. I'm honored to have my incredible friend (and amazing creative) Kate Magill host this episode. It was also a great reason to get a chance to hang out, even if online! Come join us on The Corner...

This episode is dedicated to Kate for being willing to host and for always being an awesome friend. To ALL of the Kickstarter peeps that helped Analog Poems into the world. To my Ma and Pa (may you still be at peace, Pa). My brother for always supporting my creativity. To my family. To my chosen family I've collected through my life so far. Finally, to my beautiful wife and daughters (Analog Poems shares its Birthday with my oldest).

The times we're living in are challenging to say the least. What are we supposed to do? The fact is, I'm not completely sure. What I am sure of though, is that we're not living them alone. I'm also sure that there are many lessons from the past AND present we can draw from. As always, take care of yourselves and each other. You matter.

The Corner is back in a way I wish wasn't the returning episode, but, sometimes, some things need to be said. In the wake of recent events, this is one of those times. That all said, this description will be short and here are some links to contact me and/or support The Corner, as well as some ways to help others in these messy times. As always, take care of yourselves and each other. You matter.

This episode continues the series (part 2) I started last time about the history that went on to inform and inspire laws and policies related to equality, civil rights, and ultimately what is now known as D.E.I. On this episode, I discuss the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments of The Constitution, the Chinese Exclusionary Act, and the many treaties the United States government broke with the indigenous people of this land.

As promised, here are my sources...

- National Archives: https://www.archives.gov/contact

- National Museum of the American Indian: https://americanindian.si.edu/nationtonation/

- National Park Services (info and episode image): https://www.nps.gov/trte/index.htm

As well as many readings by Howard Zinn, Black Elk, The American Indian Movement, and many others.

You can also find the link (for Spotify listeners) to part one below.

On this episode, I start the multi-part series of what in American history led to D.E.I. related laws and policies. It's a dark and horrid history, one that I don't think many people rallying against equality truly let themselves understand.

As well as many other readings in my life including the works of Howard Zinn, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, and many others.

This episode is all about how to SUPPORT THE ARTISTS and why. Simply put, the royalties SUCK. In the days of streaming music, it's much harder to see any real revenue from the work it takes to get the art out there. As promised, here's a list of how to support the artists (all of them), that have come on The Corner, writers included.
