Imogen Arate with Ben McCutcheon by Poets and Muses

This week, Ben (https://www.instagram.com/bendoespoetry/) and I (https://twitter.com/imogenarate) discuss our respective poems, "Number 18" and "A Toast to the Functionality of Truthiness," deriving pleasure from others' pain, complicity and who can afford to be nice.

Take a listen to also find out poetry events taking place in the valley during the week of April 22nd.
