Bonus Bit: Matt Donovan

Matt and I discuss Hanif Abdurraqib’s work, specifically Matt brings up Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance.There’s a touch of general chatter after the official recording’s end for those of you who (like me) crave a peek behind the curtain, so to speak, and that then leads into some info for Sylvia Plath fans: Matt reveals a new project that the Boutelle-Day Poetry Center at Smith College (Plath’s alma mater) will roll out. “Brooke” referred to in the conversation is Brooke Steinhauser of the Emily Dickinson Museum. “Jen” referred to in our conversation is Jen Jabaily-Blackburn from the Center.
