the poem is always political

from The Line Break · host Bob Sykora and Chris Corlew

Politics! That's right, we're breaking the third rail. Can poetry affect political imagination? We think so! Bob reads “The Master’s House” by Solmaz Sharif, Chris reads “I Walk Into Every Room and Yell Where The Mexicans At” by Jose Olivarez, and then the dudes celebrate the Milwaukee Bucks-led wildcat and the importance of specificity in language.
