Poet Nicole Cooley reads from "What We Were Told to Do," showing how she draws from personal experiences to Crete her artwork. The poem draws from notes written on post-its stuck to a restaurant damaged in Hurricane Katrina. "Dear Damage," she reads. "I had my first date here. Please come home."
Poet Rob Griffith reads from his poem "For Young Husband Going Deaf." His poetry takes a more light-hearted approach to the art, making fun of his relationship with his wife. "Your meat is bun ready. Go forth and cockfight," Griffith says in explanation of what he hears when his wife speaks to him.
