Imogen Arate with Catherine Lockmiller by Poets and Muses

This week, Catherine (https://twitter.com/this_cat_hisses) and I (https://poetsandmuses.com/imogen-arate/) discuss our respective poems, "To the dude who called me a long-haired faggot" and "I Alone," and the travails of being a woman.

You can read more of Catherine's poetry at the arts and humanities journal of the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix Program for Narrative Medicine & Health Humanities:
