About this listen

Katie, Tim and the Squad continue exploring persona poems with Suji Kwock Kim’s "Monologue for an Onion," Ai’s "The Kid." They also share their own work—Dick Westheimer’s "Eve Corrects the Record" and Eve’s "First Bite," Brian O’Sullivan’s "No! In Thunder," Joe Barca’s "Abraham Lincoln Talks to His Therapist," Timothy Green’s "Sirhan Sirhan Under Hypnosis" and Katie Dozier’s "Teddy Bear Arithmetic." Together, we investigate how persona lets poets slip into other voices, from biblical figures to assassins to household objects, and what writing in persona truly means.
