We're kicking off Season 2 of We, The Poets with a deep dive into the power of names and poetry that pays attention. Jay Sandhu and Mark Grist sit down with award-winning poet Theresa Lola to talk about her stunning new collection, Ceremony for the Nameless—a rich, resonant exploration of identity, memory, and language.
We get into:
-
Why names carry such weight in our lives and our writing.
-
The difference between writing poetry and short stories.
-
How poets like Neruda and Dickinson find magic in the mundane.
-
Some helfpul rituals and routines that shape the creative process.
-
The evolving power of poem titles—especially when students rename your work!
Plus, fresh new pieces from James Domestic and Hannah Walker, and a few surprising tangents (as always).
