This week, I chat with Jedidiah (https://www.instagram.com/jeddtoolight/), who still has to work outside, about our respective poems, "Unknown" and "Rest," and coping with internal struggles. Listen also to hear about virtual poetry events taking place during the week of May 4th. Photo of Jedidiah Mayrant (https://www.facebook.com/jedidiah.mayrant) by She-nice Hicks.
