S4 E8: National Poetry Month with Natasha Oladokun
Manage episode 290894059 series 2286761
"They say, Lord, piety is speaking to you, // but madness is hearing you // speak back." And so Natasha Oladokun stings her audience in her 2020 poem "Black Credit." In line after line, essay after essay, and poem after poem, Oladokun teases out of us what good literature usually teases out of us: An unmistakable smallness before the vast expanse that is our fragile and beautiful cosmos. In this special National Poetry Month episode, Natasha and Canon Broderick will discuss Audre Lorde's 1985 essay "Poetry Is Not a Luxury" and Lorde's assertion that poetry is "a vital necessity of our existence."
Show notes:
Audre Lorde's "Poetry Is Not a Luxury"
Natasha Oladokun's "Black Credit"
