Poet Douglas Kearney: My Mind at Work

How can you convey multiple ideas in a poem simultaneously? Poet and professor Douglas Kearney layers ideas in his poetry like hip hop artists sample music tracks. A midlife diagnosis of ADHD brought a new appreciation for his fascination with simultaneity, "If certain kinds of poems reflect a mind at work, this is my mind at work." Audio Description track available.
