In this episode, we welcome the distinguished poet Yusef Komunyakaa, celebrated for his poetry exploring African American identity, his experiences of the Vietnam war, and a writing style influenced by jazz and blues. We begin by discussing one of his latest projects, the comic series Jupiter Invincible, before diving into his poem-writing process. Komunyakaa also reflects on his upbringing in Louisiana, as well as thought-provoking topics like the concept of racism as a mental illness and Christ as a socialist.
