i found you a poem
Hold a poem to your ear like a shell and hear the pull of its gravity. Walk into the unlit room of its words and forget your fear of the dark. Feel your way through the messiness of being human, because every poem is a translation if you let it be. Each episode, we create a listening room: read a poem, share something from our lives, and close with a song that carries the feeling forward. Tune in. Let us bring you a poem. Then let it surprise you.

on heated rivalry
In this episode, we read three wonderful poems: The Boy Scout Pledge by Michael Glatze, High School Sleepovers with Straight Girls by Julian Guy, and The Archipelago of Kisses by Jeffrey McDaniel. Heated Rivalry has no doubt been on a lot of people's minds, but today we explore themes that the viral show has undoubtedly brought to the surface: queerness, homoerotic friendships, love as the act of witnessing, love as a way to explore identity, and the dance of self-denial that can find us all at points in our lives. Listen to the tracks we played here.
