Episode 29 [Interview 18] Featuring SARA LARSEN
<p>Post Poet Pop, Episode 29 features the work of Sara Larsen, specifically her latest book, <em>Detonated Mirror</em>. The book makes me ask, What is a body and what is a body’s destruction? As the work you will hear Sara Larsen read in this episode reflects how body may be parenthetical, an echo, Russian doll-esque, as poetry may also be. The work is crucial at the moment to take deeper looks at how self relates to place and how a/the body spreads, deflates, grows, decays, transfers, transitions, and that interpretation of that is completely open to being whatever it may. These poems are visionary and they are also, in Sara's words, "visionary poems".</p><br><p>Learn more about <em>Detonated Mirror </em>and get a copy from The Elephants, <a href="https://theelephants.net/ephemera/detonated-mirror" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> (or from your local bookstore).

Interview 17 [Episode 28] Featuring DAVID McLOGHLIN
<p>CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of sexual assault.</p><br><p>What does it mean to be silent in an era of necessary refusal? This question has taken many forms of late, for me, especially following my interview with this episode's featured poet—David McLoghlin, whose third collection of poems, <em>Crash Centre</em>, is just out from Salmon Poetry in Ireland. To begin the book, David employs an epigraph, a Latin proverb: “He who is silent is taken to agree; he ought to have spoken when he was able to.” As a sexual assault survivor, this epigraph works hard on behalf of David's poetry. First, let’s look at the facts: over 90% of sexual assault victims are women. Only 30% of sexual assault crimes are reported to legal authorities; 1 in 5 women in college are sexually assault and 1 in 16 of men are. It seems we are surrounded on all sides by a ubiquitous patriarchal violence, by genocide, extractive economy, et cetera, so…what does it mean to be silent—does it imply complicity, does it mean you’re not doing anything or does it mean you don’t know what to do?</p><br><p>David’s own assault was perpetrated by a man of power, at that, a religiously-sanctioned man of power. The last line of one of the poems you will hear David read in this episode—’Hostage Walk’—goes: “No one asked: where has David gone?” As trauma goes, a person is here and not here. But, you'll hear David, here, read a handful of poems from <em>Crash Centre</em> and we will discuss his life in Cork, his love of being a father, and his poetics. My hope is that our conversation will hold a kind of healing space for other victims/survivors and I am very grateful to listeners out there.

Interview 16 [Episode 27] Featuring IVANA APONTE & DAVID BRUNSON
<p>Post Poet Pop, Episode 27 features poems from the new anthology of Venezuelan poets living in Chile entitled <em>A Scar Where Goodbyes Are Written </em>(Louisiana State University Press, 2023). The anthology showcases the work of 15 poets, including: Ivana Aponte, Georgina Ramírez, Miguel Ortiz Rodríguez, Sara Emanuel Viloria (all of whose work you will hear today) and many others. The book is translated and edited by David Brunson. </p><br><p>This work is crucial because it elucidates the diasporic experience of being a migrant, not only to Chile, but away from a misunderstood homeland; and now—at a time when many diasporas are being ignited or re-ignited in Haiti, the Sudan, and of course the genocide in Palestine—it is even more important to become more than acquainted with that experience. The term <em>diaspora</em> comes from the Greek and means to scatter across but it also means to be forced to leave home. Venezuela has seen nearly 8 million of its citizens depart its borders and over 5,200 Venezuelans have been killed, extrajudicially. Chile has its own complications and repressive history and this enmeshing of two cultures at the very least sets the stage for poets to, in the words of David Brunson’s introduction, empathetically reclaim identity and more fully realize a sense of humanity.</p><br><p>Get an e-Book or print copy of <em>A Scar Where Goodbyes Are Written </em>from <a href="https://lsupress.org/9780807179192/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Louisiana State University Press</a> (or order one from your local bookstore), and learn more about David (the book's translator and editor) at <a href="https://www.davidmbrunson.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DavidMBrunson.com</a> and Ivana (poet in the book) at <a href="https://www.copihuepoetry.com/who-we-are" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CopihuePoetry.com/who-we-are</a>.</p><p><br></p><ol><li>Blue Scholars - No Rest For The Weary</li><li>David Brunson - On the Venezuelan immigrant reality in Chile</li><li>Billy Stewart - Sitting In The Park</li><li>Ivana Aponte - Migración / Migration (& discussion)</li><li>Gil Scott-Heron - I’m New Here</li><li>David Brunson - On getting married and staying in Chile</li><li>Jalen Ngonda - Here To Stay </li><li>David Brunson - On moving to and living in Chile </li><li>The Ramones - Outsider</li><li>Georgina Ramírez - Un poema llamado pais / A Poem Called Country (& discussion)</li><li>chicarica - Santiago</li><li>Miguel Ortiz Rodríguez - Ya me reconozco / I Already Recognize Myself (& discussion)</li><li>Queens of The Stone Age - I Sat By The Ocean</li><li>Sara Emanuel Viloria - Venceremos / Patria o Muerte—Venceremos </li><li>The Beatles - Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight (Takes 1-3/Medley)</li><li>David Brunson - The Top 5</li><li>The Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love</li></ol><p><br></p><p>All poems are performed by Ivana Aponte and David Brunson and all the author’s poems discussed are published in <em>A Scar Where Goodbyes Are Written</em>: <em>An Anthology of Venezuelan Poets in Chile</em> (Louisiana State University Press, 2023).
