Robin Coste Lewis
<p>For the season finale of Rough Draft, we’re welcoming poet Robin Coste Lewis.</p><p> </p><p>Robin’s blazing intellect and pitch-perfect way with words are no shocker. Her debut poetry collection Voyage of the Sable Venus won the National Book Award in poetry in 2015, the first time a debut collection by an African-American had won the prize (and the first time a debut had won since 1974). She brings it all in this conversation that touches on growing up in Compton and New Orleans, removing the “I” from her writing, and pursuing beauty. Featuring guest poetry performances from Marquesha Babers and Monique Mitchell!</p><p> </p><p>Watch Rough Draft and other Topic shows on the Apple TV app. Go to <a href="apple.co/topic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">apple.co/topic</a> to get your free 7-day trial.</p><p> </p><p>Follow Robin Coste Lewis <a href="https://www.instagram.com/robincostelewis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@robincostelewis</a></p><p> </p><p>Follow Marquesha Babers <a href="https://twitter.com/ladi3lyrix?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@LADI3LYRIX</a></p><p> </p><p>Follow Monique Mitchell <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mnqmtchll/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mnqmtchll</a></p><p> </p><p>Rough Draft is a Topic Original Series.</p><p> </p><p>Hosted by Reza Aslan</p><p> </p><p>Executive Produced by Reza Aslan, David Andreone, Alfredo de Villa, and Safa Samieyazde’-Yazd.

Mikel Jollett
<p>Mikel Jollett’s memoir Hollywood Park isn’t your typical rock star memoir. The frontman for The Airborne Toxic Event joins Reza for a socially-distanced chat about his genre-defying, rule-breaking book. They discuss Mikel’s childhood in the infamous Synanon cult, the difference between writing a book and writing a song, and Mikel’s love for boundary-pushing memoirs. There’s also a special acoustic performance of his song “Come On Out”!</p><p> </p><p>Watch Rough Draft and other Topic shows on the Apple TV app. Go to <a href="apple.co/topic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">apple.co/topic</a> to get your free 7-day trial.</p><p> </p><p>This talk was originally presented by the <a href="https://www.92y.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">92nd Street Y</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Follow Mikel Jollett <a href="https://twitter.com/Mikel_Jollett" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Mikel_Jollett</a></p><p> </p><p>Rough Draft is a Topic Original Series.</p><p> </p><p>Hosted by Reza Aslan</p><p> </p><p>Executive Produced by Reza Aslan, David Andreone, Alfredo de Villa, and Safa Samieyazde’-Yazd.
