Episode 160: Things That Frighten You

Episode 160: In this, our 4th anniversary episode Things That Frighten You, we begin with a dark poem and conversation about what makes a poem scary. It ‘s not all werewolves and vampires and haunted houses. Sometimes it’s the dread of a terminal disease, the fear of losing a child, the very real possibility of racial violence. A scary poem is specific about the evils we cannot control or that we humans do to one another. A scary poem is about . . . life.
