The second half of this podcast was recorded at Chris McIntyre's house with Erin Baird and their two cats, Warren and Regina. Chris goes into detail about where his poems come from and the stories that inspired them. We talk about how time takes a part in Chris's poems and a comparison of his work with Langston Hughes, the use of white space in his pieces, and what it's like growing up living by a train. We end the podcast talking about his connection with music and the sound of his shorter pieces.
