Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Sarah-Jane. Let me state for the record that I am unequivocally NOT attempting to advance a dead white male agenda. Many of my favorite poets happen to be DWMs, so they will feature prominently on the podcast, but I am committed to celebrating other voices too. Next episode, for instance, will feature the wonderful poet Janet Lewis, and a Robert Hayden episode is coming up soon as well.
A biography would be a good idea— I’ll look into what I can do regarding the website.
Regards,
Elijah
