Synopsis

Zoe Leonard's 1992 prose poem has been making the internet rounds again--and it has hit me between the eyes. I'm glad I found it now. I couldn't have heard it when it was written. But it lands in my gut and makes me realize how much a great writer can imagine a better world--and how much I want to live in that world. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for a fast episode about a monumental piece of writing, as true now as when it was written.
