<div>In this episode we talk with Danez Smith about writing “the unsavory parts” of ourselves, balancing truth with tenderness, having a healthy fear of fucking up, finding one’s poetry family, and form as self-care.

6: Nickole Brown Episode: “Be Mean and Fight For it”

We are Re\VERB, a podcast of Third Man Books. At Re\VERB, we talk about how life and culture influences literature and how literature influences life and culture. We invite writers mostly but also songwriters, musicians, filmmakers—people we love—who have a thing or two to say about music, literature and pop culture, and we host them at Third Man Records to have a chat in the Blue Room.
