Episode 140: Thumb Ring, Tank Top, Lucky Coin (with special guest Kiki Petrosino)

Perhaps this year more than in years past, poetry can help to sustain us spiritually and intellectually during the COVID-19 pandemic. To help us wrap-up National Poetry Month, renowned poet and teacher Kiki Petrosino was kind enough to join us to talk poetry, writing, pencils, and how literature heals the soul.

Kiki’s new book, White Blood: A Lyric of Virginia comes out May 5! Order it from her publisher, Sarabande Books.
