I clarify some statements I made in the first episode about religion and decide to move away from and think through the need (or not) for "explicit content." ● The Poetry Vlog is a YouTube Channel and Podcast dedicated to building social justice coalitions through poetry, pop culture, cultural studies, and related arts dialogues.

*audio is poor: This episode works best in YouTube vlog form, where you can see a slideshow of Andrea's art and use visual cues to aid in the poor audio. That aside, this was such a fun conversation! I had never thought of the poetry/comedy cross-overs, nor of how visual art in *this* way intersects with written, word-based language! Plus Safi does her famous impersonations for us! ● The Poetry Vlog is a YouTube Channel and Podcast dedicated to building social justice coalitions through poetry, pop culture, cultural studies, and related arts dialogues.
