Episode 112: Gabrielle Octavia Rucker with V Conaty
Poet and teaching artist Gabrielle Octavia Rucker sits down with Commonplace producer V Conaty in Rachel's home in Washington Heights. They discuss Gabrielle's debut collection Dereliction, published last year by The Song Cave. The conversation wanders to being a self-taught writer, growing up, working odd jobs and then working for oneself, gnostic gospels, memes, the role of poetry in society, the end of capitalism, whether humanity should survive beyond our lifetimes, reanimating dodos, the politics of representation, and selling writing.
