Robert Frost

Amy is an exceedingly fierce and hilarious poet whose most recent work Broadax is fresh off the press. Broadax is an exploration of being fearless in a world where fear is weaponized to keep women compliant. Amy brings to us her life long hate love of Robert Frost and reads Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. You get to hear this popular poem in a completely different albeit dark light. The conversation travels from hatred of poetry to peas and poetry as a form of rebellion. You will learn afresh that peas can not be eaten with ease. We reimagine Frost's darling poem and surmise the meaning of it as he may or may not have intended.

Amy Lawless is the guest. Her latest poetry collection, My Dead, is available now from Octopus Books.Janae Green says"Lawless writes poetry that itches; you have to bury your fingernails into your skin and bleed a little to remind yourself not to scratch it."And Interview magazine says"My Dead delves into the process of mourning loved ones with Lawless' calm, characteristically non-melodramatic poise. She cites videos of elephant mourning rituals seen on the Internet as a main source of inspiration. While humor might have been used to subvert heavier topics in the past, she chooses control and intimate dissection this time around."Monologue topics: unlived lives, mediocrity, fate, bifurcation, Joan Rivers.  Learn more about your ad choices.
