We are back from our hiatus! Well actually Kevin is still out there lost in NYC. If anyone sees him, please kindly direct him back to West Virginia. This week, we are joined by poet and scholar, Marty Cain. Marty is the author of Kids of the Black Hole, The Wound is (Not) Real, and The Prelude. We chat about reality television, his critical work regarding the beloved Frank Stanford, as well him stealing the title of his latest book from William Wordsworth.
