PODRE's newest bonus miniseries (yes, our highly-anticipated literary salon) kicks off with guest Kaveh Akbar, all-world poet and author of PILGRIM BELL and the forthcoming novel MARTYR, here to discuss poets who can handle the rock, the enduring cultural significance of The Simpsons, and three poems about fatherhood that will make your heart swell bigger than the rim when Steph Curry's on one of his heaters. It's basketball season. It's poetry season. It's PODRE, from the logo, BAAAAANG!
In case you're a little confused as to what's happening in the special show intro, here you go.
Each of Kaveh Akbar's several magnificent books can & should be purchased at the website of the man himself, here.
Marvelous poet and friend of the pod Hayan Charara's books, including his newest collection, can be found here.
Robert Hayden's incredibly rich body of poetic work is worth owning in this handsome volume.
Please head over to the website or find us on social media so you can see the gorgeous PODRE Review Issue 1 cover art made by David Wojciechowski.
And here are the poems we discuss on the episode: "Ode to an Abandoned House" by Hayan Charara. "Those Winter Sundays" by Robert Hayden. And "Learning to Pray" by Kaveh Akbar.
