I love poetics

Top down photos of books by Patti Smith, Ocean Vuong, Kevin Young, and Richard Llewellyn

I think the title says it all, but it’s so true: the genre doesn’t really matter; if she’s lyrical, I will read her.

Get the juice in episode 7, featuring a speed-dating round of little reviews: Devotion by Patti Smith (a memoir mashup); Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong (<3 <3 <3); How Green Was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn (Welsh miners, gorgeous prose); and Stones by Kevin Young (patterwork poet nonpareil).
