What does it really mean for a poem to have “something to say”? Poet and Sleerickets host Matthew Buckley Smith joins Katie Dozier and Timothy Green to unpack his provocative talk, “The Teacup Stirs,” from Think journal’s recent symposium. Along the way, they discuss poetic meaning, craft, and why having something to say isn't always what it seems.
