Poetry Northwest‘s monthly podcast series, The Subvocal Zoo, features editors and friends of the magazine interviewing poets during the 2014 Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) Conference in Seattle. Each episode features lively conversation between writers in a different Seattle location.
Episode 6 features Timothy Donnelly in conversation with Justin Boening. Their conversation takes place on the streets of downtown Seattle between the Washington State Convention Center and the Central Library, and then in a quiet room inside the library. Topics of discussion include religious speech, translation, chaos and order, and paranormal activity.
Timothy Donnelly’s poem, “The Earth Itself,” is read and discussed during the interview.
