014 – Turning Tables with Patrick Rosal

We’re turning tables with Patrick Rosal. 

Patrick Rosal is the award winning author of four books of poetry: Boneshepherds, My American Kundiman, Uprock Headspin Scramble and Dive, and Brooklyn Antediluvian. He is a Guggenheim fellow and lives in New Jersey.

We’ll be talking white space in poetry, our sister cultures, and scatological poetics. We’ll also talk about my upcoming appearance on Jeopardy!, some pointers for reading poetry aloud, and about words that simply cannot be translated.

A Quick Summary of What to Expect

We’ll start with a clip of Patrick Rosal’s March 2021 performance at City of Asylum with David Wright Falade, We’ll transition to an interview I just did with Rosal, some conversation from us, and finally we’ll get to what we’re reading and some thoughts for the road.
