In this week\'s episode, host Marcela Sulak reads two pieces from award-winning poet Meir Wieseltier\'s collection The Flower of Anarchy. His works in this collection, translated by Shirley Kaufman with the author, cover 40 years of history and yet maintain their power over time. Shaped by his early experiences of war and conflict, Wieseltier\'s voice is bold and unflinching.
