On Names, Fathers, and Finding Yourself — A Conversation with G.K. Allum
In this episode, I talk with poet and photographer G.K. Allum — or Greg, as he also goes by — about the power of names, the inheritance of character, and what it means to write as both a father and a son.
We discuss his viral Substack poem “We Named Him Wren”, the quiet act of forgiving your younger self, and how art can carry us through change. We also dive into his views on Substack as a creative space, the relationship between poetry and photography, and how studying poetry academically reshaped his writing life.
It’s a gentle, thoughtful conversation about identity, art, and the slow courage of becoming who you are.

On Poetry, Negativity, and the Cage: A Conversation with Robert Charboneau
In this episode, I speak with poet and teacher Robert Charboneau about what he calls New-Romanticism. A return to beauty, truth, and the real in contemporary poetry. We explore how art imitates the world, how reading slows us down in an era of endless speed, and how resistance—both in language and life—shapes creativity.
Our discussion drifts from Rilke and the Romantics to Substack, stoicism, and the fine balance between doing what you love and doing what sustains you.

Poetry, Countryfolk, Purpose, and the Banality of Evil - Seamus Gilkey
In this episode, Seamus Gilkey—known on Substack for his poetic alter ego—joins me for a long, winding conversation about poetry, philosophy, and the unique wisdom of country life. We discuss how simplicity can reveal depth, why Sylvia Plath still stirs fierce debate, and how ancient traditions—from Mesopotamia to Buddhism—continue to shape how we write and think.
This conversation started with poetry and ends somewhere between Sisyphus and Camus—questioning what it means to live, create, and stay kind in a world of noise.

We explore the value of creative limitations, why critique still matters, and how platforms like Substack are changing what it means to publish and connect.
