In this episode of Slightly Crooked: Good Stories, Told Well, writer and podcaster Douglas Vigliotti introduces his 2021 poem collection mini heartbreaks (or, little poems about life) as the second season of the podcast. For the first time, it is being read by the author and released in audio form. The collection serves as a mini-memoir in poetry form about writing, artistry, missed opportunities, growing up, and moving forward. Vigliotti explains the structure of season two, what led to writing the poem collection, what he has been working on since he wrote it, and what to expect from him moving forward. He concludes by reading a short little poem from the back cover of the formatted book version.
