Summary

In this week's show, John speaks with the poet Philip Schultz about his wonderful new poetry collection, Enormous Morning . We discuss the self-critical voices that Philip calls the shit-bird, how personas can empower us to become more of ourselves, and the ironies of finding gratitude in our depression in observing how the world tears itself apart.
