The Host Dispatch: A Literary Podcast
Arts:Books
In this episode, we had the immense pleasure of talking with our forthcoming poet and author of the chapbook threesome in the last Toyota Celica & other circus tricks m. mick powell! We talked about everything from digital collage and it's relationship to mick's poetry practice, to the way the organization of a book of poems can be inspired by the way an album is composed. mick's brilliance and depth as a poet is undeniable, and their warmth as a conversationalist made for an uplifting discussion about poetry and art making!
m. mick powell (she/they) is a queer Black Cape Verdean femme, a poet, an artist, and an Aries. Their poems have been nominated for the Best of the Net Anthology and a Pushcart Prize, and appear in Muzzle, Frontier Poetry, Up the Staircase Quarterly, and elsewhere. A 2023 Tin House Resident and professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies, mick enjoys chasing waterfalls and being in love. Keep up with her at mickpowellpoet.com and on IG @mickmakesmagic.art
