This week, host Julia Paganelli Marín welcomes her partner Luís Paganelli Marín for a discussion on Catherine Barnett's poem "Epistemology." Luís, a 1.5 generation immigrant and heritage speaker of Spanish, shares his insights into the nuances of language and its role in shaping our identity, self-definition, and worldview. Join us in this exploration of poetry's capacity to connect us to our inner selves and the broader human experience.
