The Book Corner with Mich Atagana

Witty and self-aware

This episode was meant to be about robots.
It starts there, briefly. Tin hearts, code, sentience, the usual.

Then Kevin Maina (@mainamind) takes the wheel and somehow we end up in poetry, longing, and the lost art of the love letter. No one is more surprised than me.

What follows is a very real conversation about why people still write to be remembered, why tenderness is a form of courage, and why a good line can outlive a perfect argument.

In this episode:

  • The robot book we were supposed to discuss, in spirit

  • Kevin’s case for poetry as emotional technology

  • Love letters as archive, evidence, and risk

  • The difference between saying “I miss you” and writing it so it stays

I’m @globemich. Kevin is @mainamind.
