Ep. 158 Reaching for Answers with Reginald Dwayne Betts

On today's episode we talk with poet, author, activist, and attorney Reginald Dwayne Betts (Felon). In the conversation we explore the ways we police and punish ourselves and the people around us, the conditions of worthiness, and the balance between form and word choice in poetry. Dwayne also shares about his nonprofit, Million Book Project, and the work they do to bring books into prisons.

Donate to Million Book Drive as part of The Stacks $50,000 fundraising drive.
