S3 E11 Poetry And Literary Citizenship

What happens when the guest calls in sick and Michael and Kate are left alone with blocked-off time and a record button? Get your head out of the gutter! We talked extensively about Literary Citizenship! Have you ever read to empty rooms? Are you losing all the contests? Do you feel like you are always watching from the sidelines while the same poets take up all the air in the room? We consider the idea of "literary citizenship" and how it may play a role in how poets give back or engage their community. Are you a shitty literary citizen? Maybe you need to temper your expectations. Have a listen, and let us know what you think! For added spice, watch on Youtube.
