In this episode, Commonplace Producer V Conaty sits down with poet and scholar S. Yarberry at Rachel’s home in Washington Heights. The two discuss Yarberry’s debut collection A Boy in the City, as well as William Blake, writing from historical models, the monologue as a form, eros, the love poem, public and private space, finding a space for queerness, domesticity, cities, the Midwest, and the ambivalence in queer and trans desire.
