An episode from 9/19/21: Are some topics not fit for poetry and art? Does the intentional crafting of atrocity and genocide into stanzas, scenes, rhymes, drama, or just DVD covers or posters, exploit and cheapen history? Or is this simply the way stories are told and passed down? Tonight, I talk about this in relation to two poems of mine about the Holocaust, "A Ploughed Field" and "Train." These poems were published earlier this year at Jewish Journal.
