The Loudcast

For this season finale of the Loudcast, we've turned the tables: Kevin Mclean is the guest, with Katie Ailes in the host chair! They discuss Kevin's approach to being a Creative Director, his evolving writing practices, and what motivates his creativity. As always, we also feature three poems at the start of the show: Kevin's poem "I Want" and the sestinas that Paul Case and Gray Crosbie created for our Return to Form series. Plus, Kevin shares a rarely-performed poem at the end of the show. Enjoy! The conversation continues on the Loudcast Extra - sign up to our Patreon to watch! https://www.patreon.com/IAmLoud​ The poem Kevin performs at the end currently lacks a title - suggest your ideas in the comments!
