Description

This weeks Book(ish) I sit down with one of Australias leading prose poets, Cassandra Atherton, to discuss Irradiated Cities by Mariko Nagai. Our conversation includes some surprisingly intense fights in the poetry community, whether the bomb could ever be justified over Hiroshima, and studying public intellectuals at Harvard. Enjoy!
