In this episode I speak to Steve Von Till, best known for his work with the band Neurosis, about his poetry collection Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems and Collected Lyrics. We discuss how nature inspires his writing, how he inspires the students he teaches to love reading, American Transcendental poets and more!
