9 — Poet Talk about Crushes featuring EJ Kneifel

For episode 9, Sanna discusses crushes with local love expert EJ Kneifel. EJ and Sanna define crushing through concentric circles; compare and contrast their poetic natures; and strike the gong of ekphrasis and guides. The spirit of Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid broadly informs the conversation: mothering, dreams of oneness, and relentless, even vicious, desire for freedom. Together, the duo explores questions like: How do we pattern? What is the soup we are stewing in? And, most importantly: who do we have a crush on right now?! PS...listen past the end credits for a special treat.*🎓 "Grief Ankle" by EJ Kneifel🚌 Community at the bus stop📓 Definition of a crush🔬 The Perimeter Institute and small-scale experimentation🔮 Jessica Lanyadoo's astrology podcast 📓 Definition of ekphrasis❤️ Manahil Bandukwala and Conyer Clayton📝 "What Do You Want Out of This?" by EJ & Trynne📗 All Fours by Miranda July📺 Canada Reads📺  The anime Bleach📙 Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid😜 Kacey Musgraves🙂‍↔️ Caleb Hearon😮‍💨 Dr. Ellis from The Pitt🤷‍♂️ Leo DiCaprio has not aged well📘 The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller🤔 Connor Storrie as Achilles😮 Logan Lerman looks like Paul Rudd🚨 Legal Aid Fundraiser for Pro-Palestinian Protestors📝 Canadian Press article and story of the protesters🎵 Caroline Rose's year of the slug and "to be lonely"Support the show🔔 Follow, rate and subscribe to Poet Talk wherever you're listening.✨ Poet Talk is independently run, created and produced by Sanna Wani.♫ Check out the show music in the album Hélice's Awesome Dance Adventure and the creator Komiku on their website.📲 Don't forget to follow us on Instagram, @talkpoet.
