2 — Poet Talk about the Parasocial featuring Summer Farah

Welcome to the second episode of Poet Talk! In this episode, Jody and Sanna talk to Palestinian poet, critic and editor Summer Farah about the parasocial. Together, they delve into all things online: video games, prose poems and Tumblr as a critical space. The trio defines the parasocial by analyzing pop culture, like Chappell Roan and Mitski's “solidarity” with Palestine and Richard Siken's relationship to the Supernatural fandom. Summer shares poems from her chapbook, I could live again and die again, and her in-progress series, I tell Etel Adnan about Supernatural. From loneliness and obsession to the ancient act of fanfiction, this episode is an introduction to what the parasocial and poetry have to offer each other.

4 — Poet Talk about Law featuring Chimwemwe Undi

In the fourth episode of Poet Talk, Jody and Sanna talk to poet, linguist and lawyer Chim Undi about language. Why do adults tell certain kids to become lawyers? How do people find themselves in the world of spoken word poetry? From erasure poetry to text trajectory, Canadian court cases to poetry's penchant for uncertainty, the trio traverse interpersonal beliefs, linguistic axioms and the powerful presence of silence. Join us as we read poems by Donika Kelly, Danez Smith and Chim herself—and find out, maybe, how a practice of care may govern it all.
