Chasing poetry with Jess Rizkallah

Boston-based poet Jess Rizkallah is the award-winning author of
The Magic My Body Becomes. She first decided to "chase poetry" as
an undergrad at Lesley University and went on to study creative
writing at NYU. A native of Boston, Jess often writes about her
experiences as a Lebanese-American woman, family, love, religion,
and gender expectations. On today's episode, she is interviewed
by her former professor, Mary Dockray-Miller.
