Caitlin Stobie and THIN SLICES

"I don't think poetry should be giving a lesson to anyone"



Caitlin Stobie is here to talk about THIN SLICES, her new collection from Verve Press (Pre-order here )



Caitlin examines culture's need for 'origin' myths, as well as asking what is a language for the pre-lingual?
