Minneapolis is once again facing violence and repression. From afar we watch in horror, and in this episode from our archive featuring Danez Smith we offer our solidarity with the people of Minnesota. Originally recorded in October 2024, Peter speaks with Danez about their remarkable collection Bluff (Chatto & Windus), much of which is rooted in life in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It’s tragic that one of our favourite interviews now sounds like a missive from a more hopeful time.
Planet Poetry will return with a brand-new episode in the spring.
