A Silent Climb (interview w/ Miguel Murphy pt. 1)

Aaron and James interview Miguel Murphy, author of 3 books of poetry who teaches at Santa Monica College. Miguel reads and discusses his poems "A Love Like Auto-Sodomy" and "Greg Louganis." We discuss queer subjectivity and the notion of the reader.Miguel Murphy's most recent book, Shoreditch, can be purchased through Barrow Street.You can check out more of his work here.Or buy his books at Loyalty Bookstore.*Greg Louganis is an Aquarius and an American Olympic diver. He won gold medals at the 1984 and '88 Summer Olympic Games. He is the only man and the second diver in Olympic history to sweep the diving events in consecutive Olympic Games. He has been called both "the greatest American diver" and "probably the greatest diver in history."*We reference the title poem of Adrienne Rich's Diving Into the Wreck and you can read that poem here.
