In this episode, I sat down with friend and poet Sarah Jean Alexander, who chose the book Inferno (A Poet's Novel), by Eileen Myles. This was a really interesting book that explores poetry, writing, queerness, and living in New York, among other things. We had a great conversation, picking different sections and ideas from the book to discuss (are subways hell? Yes!), and Sarah Jean gave a glimpse into the world of poetry readings. And stay tuned after the conversation to hear a reading of her poem, "Real Good."
