In this week's episode, I interview poet Campbell McGrath about XX, his tenth book of poetry. Campbell McGrath (left) and John King (right). Photo by Shawn McKee. TEXTS DISCUSSED NOTES All 7 panels from Litlando 2016 are now available on youtube here. Read Amy Watkins's review of XX here. My creative nonfiction piece, "Just Barely," recently appeared in the Fantastic Floridas section of Burrow Press Review. My flash fiction, "Gentle Spirit," appeared in THAT Literary Review #1. On May 10th, I'll be reading with Jared Silvia, Tom Lucas, and Karen Price in The Best of There Will Be Words. Check out "The Battle Over the Sea Monkey Fortune" at The New York Times Magazine. The Picasso film I reference is The Mystery of Picasso, from 1956, which is not actually in the 1970s at all. Check out the music of The Bambi Molesters. Their songs "Rising East" (As the Dark Wave Swells) and "Chaotica" (from Sonic Bullets: 13 from the Hip) are heard on this episode.
