Jenelle Hayward -- writer, poet, and all around awesome person -- comes through to break down poetry and Claudia Rankine's Citizen: An American Lyric. Poetry heads and poetry skeptics will come away with lots to chew on here.


We discuss the difference between poetry and prose, what we miss if we don't read poetry, and reading tips on how to read a poem.


Then, we jump into the masterpiece that is Citizen. Enjoy and share!
