Show Notes

Our guest today is Lee Herrick. Lee is the author of many books and his poems have been featured in more magazines than I can count. He served as Fresno Poet Laureate from 2015-2017. And he teaches at Fresno City College and in the MFA Program at Sierra Nevada College. I am just going to prepare you for the nerdy poetry talk that will follow, but as always we talk about food, we talk about hip hop, we talk about the movie Parasite, and much more.
