A bi-weekly poetry podcast for the every-day person. Easy to understand yet deep and melodic. Poetry doesn't need to be unreachable.
As the last episode of Pen & Poet nears, I'm so honored to end my 4 year trek of this podcast with a brilliant up and coming poetic voice.
Ashanti Anderson is an absolutely amazing poet. Her new book Black Under is reminiscent of Bellocq's Ophelia by Natasha Trethewey.

Episode 7 of Season 3 drops this week! This Thursday, my SECOND interview with Matthew Brown. I first interviewed him way back in 2018 I think.
Why a 2nd interview? Matthew Brown was my first poet crush and the first poet who made me feel like my story mattered with his amazing poems about depression and family and all that comes with it.
I hope y'all enjoy hearing him as much as I enjoyed speaking with him again.
He has a new book out called Among Gods & Other Drugs.
