EP14: Poetry for Your Next Road Trip

This episode we come to you live from the Newburyport Literary Festival, which is a truly kick-ass event. But, don't worry: It's still just us talking about four books! They just happen to come from authors speaking at the Fest — including two poets! Hey, it only took us 14 episodes to get a couple books of poetry on this thing. But we've got a couple of great novels, too — People are dying in John Irving ways! And winning awards in John Irving ways! — so we're not too far outside our norms. And you may notice that we're slightly more prepared than normal. This fortnight, we read: "Good Monster," by Diannelly Antigua "The Road to Tender Hearts," by Annie Hartnett  "The Diaspora Sonnets," by Oliver de la Paz "The Award," by Matthew Pearl What sound effects did we give each of these books? You'll just have to listen and find out!
