Amazing !
This podcast is awesome, Kevin Coval is one of my biggest inspirations in poetry and I’m glad I stumbled on this podcast!!
Peace!!!
Peace and thank you as always for the work and the support you give to the artists you host in your show. It would be dope if you can interview the brother Amir Sulaiman. He’s put out some recent pieces on Instagram called RE laced with instrumentals. He also goes Live on the gram for his Monday Night Free Write where he shares his writing and thought process with his followers. Just putting that out into the universe. Thank you once again.
Great show
