Playlist 011
A brand new playlist from the Ohio-based poet (and future contributor) Taylor Byas. Taylor’s intimate and at times devastating work interrogates the complexity of intrafamilial relationships, and the burdens one generation passes down to the next – in other words, it’s a must-read for anyone who’s interested in contemporary poetry.
But Taylor leaves the hard work to her writing – this playlist is BOP CITY.
