Hanif Abdurraqib is a poet from Columbus, Ohio. For today\'s episode I was pleased to talk to Hanif about his 2016 book The Crown Ain\'t Worth Much, one of my favorite reads of 2016. The poems in this book are an intensely personal account of his experiences growing up in Columbus, and in our conversation we talked about Hanif\'s approach to writing from experience, and how art can engender empathy. We also talked about music, a subject he\'s very familiar with as a music and culture writer for MTV News. For the second segment, we talked about a subject near and dear to Hanif\'s heart: the Columbus Blue Jackets.
(Conversation recorded January 23, 2017. Originally aired March 1, 2017.)
