S1 E8 - Pete Peterson

Welcome to The Poetry Pubcast, where we talk to everyday poets, hosted by Chris and Jen Yokel. For the final episode of season one, we're talking to Pete Peterson (A.S. Peterson on his book covers). Pete is the executive director of The Rabbit Room, and is a poet, playwright, novelist, and editor for Rabbit Room Press. In this conversation, we geek out about epic poetry, discuss what editors wish poets knew, and compare the first and final drafts of one of his poems. *** Poems Read in this Episode: - Jubilation XI - The Fumi-e *** Special thanks to Andrew Osenga for our theme music, New Year's Daybreak.
