Episode 29 [Interview 18] Featuring SARA LARSEN

Post Poet Pop, Episode 29 features the work of Sara Larsen, specifically her latest book, Detonated Mirror. The book makes me ask, What is a body and what is a body’s destruction? As the work you will hear Sara Larsen read in this episode reflects how body may be parenthetical, an echo, Russian doll-esque, as poetry may also be. The work is crucial at the moment to take deeper looks at how self relates to place and how a/the body spreads, deflates, grows, decays, transfers, transitions, and that interpretation of that is completely open to being whatever it may. These poems are visionary and they are also, in Sara's words, "visionary poems".Learn more about Detonated Mirror and get a copy from The Elephants, here (or from your local bookstore).
