Interview with Michael Schmeltzer: Part 1

Episode description

David Gilmour interviews Michael Schmeltzer, a Seattle poet. From: michaelschmeltzer.com “Intentionally or not, often by fault of memory, I lace every line with a lie. I’m sorry if I misled you, even though writing should be an acceptance of and rage against everything we know to be true… Bi: racial, lingual. From Japan to America. Son and father. I live in two worlds and belong fully to neither. This gives way to various tensions one must attempt to reconcile.”
