ep. 240 - George Bilgere

Winner of the 2023 Rattle Chapbook Prize, George Bilgere, his wife, and his two exceptionally fine little boys spend the school year in Cleveland, Ohio, because living in Cleveland builds character. In the summers the family heads off to Berlin, Germany, where the kids study German while George does important research on beer gardens. He’s the author of eight collections of poetry and shows no signs of slowing down. Find more on George here: https://www.georgebilgere.com/ As always, we'll also include the live Prompt Lines for responses to our weekly prompt. A Zoom link will be provided in the chat window during the show before that segment begins.

Next Week’s Prompt: Write a poem with a single word as the title, in which our understanding of that word shifts by the end of the poem.
