Ep. 316 The January Children by Safia Elhillo — The Stacks Book Club (Hala Alyan)
Manage episode 414232019 series 2326161
It's The Stacks Book Club day and writer Hala Alyan is back to discuss this month's pick, The January Children by Safia Elhillo. It is an award-winning poetry collection by the Sudanese-American poet Safia Elhillo. We examine the prevailing themes of displacement and duality, the urgency with which a poet writes, and we ask, how should one judge poetry?
Be sure to listen to the end of today’s episode to find out what our May book club pick will be.
