S03:E05 | Divinations V with Sandra Yannone: Pockets, Tooth Fairies, & the Surreal Real

Welcome back to our fifth episode of the Divinations miniseries, featuring an ongoing conversation in poems with poet Sandra Yannone.

In this episode, I read my poem-in-progress, "Articles of Incorporation," inspired by Sandy's "Ecdysis Sonnet" from Episode 4: Shells, Learning to Listen, & the Lyric You, as well as by the Little Oracles lexical fragment "pocket," which you can view as part of the original Little Oracles multimedia digital installation, back on view at www.littleoracles.com/exhibit.

We talk about transubstantiation and the corporate body, secret sonnets and interrogative endings, randomized Dads, and more. Plus, Sandy shares an excerpt from her response poem to my featured reading — the last one she'll share in the miniseries, debuting in Episode 6, which drops December 12. Enjoy, and as always: take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
