Jerry and I have known each other since at least 2012 when we read together with other Pennsylvania poets at the PA Capitol building. In our chat, we talk about everything from his earliest poems to his most recent collection, as well as the Keystone Poetry anthology that he co-edited with Marjorie Maddox, another upcoming guest.

I can hardly believe that tomorrow we release episode six! This time our guest is Jehanne Dubrow. And if you’re enjoying these, let me know. I can link them here on my page as they come out.
