Sneak Peek: Jericho Brown podcast

Jericho Brown: I want to write poems that change me and I can’t do that if I’m not figuring out what I have to say as I say it; if I’m not doing an investigation through language that leads to discovery and then once I make those discoveries, I can say “Oh, is that what I think?” and then I can start living like it. You know what I mean? I can change-- literally change the way I live because I say things I don’t expect to say in my poems and I imagine that they must be closer to what I really believe.
