This Is Not A Poem: Young Thing by Grace Bialecki

On this episode of This is not a Poem, E.K. Bartlett interviews Grace Bialecki about Young Thing,a collection of poetry and photos. The poems in the collection mimic snapshots while the photos add a visual dimension to the writing. E.K. and Grace talk about playing with the design of poetry through line breaks and typography. Then Grace discusses losing everything we were conditioned to want, and how these ideas played out in her collection which is nostalgic, funny, and sharp.
