Al Filreis and Divya Victor co-curated a special episode of PoemTalk, recorded on a day when Divya Victor was at the Kelly Writers House for several events, including a marvelous reading from her new work as well as a discussion with Julia Bloch. The group was joined by Professors Whitney Trettien and Dagmawi Woubshet for a conversation about two poems in Douglas Kearney’s book titled SHO, which was published by Wave Books in 2021. See below for more details.
