20: Mira Gonzalez

It’s officially the spookiest time of year, and to celebrate I hopped on Skype with Los Angeles-based poet Mira Gonzalez. She’s the author of the books “i will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together,” published by Sorry House, and “Selected Tweets,” a collaboration with Tao Lin. We talked about The Babadook, alt-lit, sexism in the literary industry, Twitter-as-writing, mental health, poetry, healing through humor, unlearning grammar, and weed. This week’s episode is sponsored by the fact that Bret Easton Ellis has no idea what autumn is. I hope you fuckers like AFI. LMAO.
