Welcome back to the Pens and Poison Podcast!
This is not your ordinary literature podcast. Join me as I explore the state of humanities education, the publishing industry, and the literary world at large through a series of spicy interviews, hot takes, and literary ramblings.
On today’s episode, I talked to poetry mogul and Substack afficionado Joseph Massey, the author of America Is the Poem (The Exile Press, 2025), Decades: Selected Poems (The Exile Press, 2024), and many other books.
Joseph’s poems have been translated into French, Dutch, Bengali, Finnish, Czech, and Portuguese. He lives in Upstate New York.
Joseph writes Dispatches From the Basement on Substack.
America Is the Poem is now available on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/6PPqa1U.
