Listening to poets talking among themselves is a rare pleasure. On their last day at the LAP, after a rainy winter, poets Julian Talamantez Brolaski and Ariana Reines sit down and consider the question: What can poets do? Ariana takes a deep breath and begins. ” This just came to me yesterday, so I still have to try it out… ” What ensues is a remarkable moment of a poet working something out in conversation with another. Listen to an excerpt of the conversation here .
You have to be at the very edge of what can be said.
