Hey, my lovely sluts. My interview is finally here and you really, really, REALLY need to listen to it. Not because it features me and my work, but because starting at 1:58 or so, and ending around 6:45, Matt tells a personal story that happened to him recently. It’s kind of disturbing and horrifying but, at the end, Matt leaves you feeling nothing but hopeful. Personally going through a hard time right now myself, Matt’s story and what he says after really fuckin’ benched pressed my spirits like you wouldn’t believe. If you’re going through a shitty-ass time right now or you’re feeling lost or hopeless or scared, I really hope you’ll take a listen. Really… It changed the outlook of my entire day.
Another reason you should listen? Well, if you’ve ever wondered, “How awkward of a shithead is Calvero?” well now you can finally hear for yourself! And, as I’m sure you’ll all agree, the answer is “very.” I am very, very awkward. But Matt does a great job reading my poems as well as interviewing me because he didn’t even make it feel like an interview. So props and thanks so much to him. And I really hope you guys check it out and tell your friends because more people need to listen to the awesomeness that is Unknown Words with Matthew Anderson.

no girl is gonna walk up to a deer who got hit by a car and is dying in the middle of the road and be like, “hey baby, baby, you’re cute. here are my digits. gimme a call sometime!”

“Episode #16 with poet, Calvero, will be here tomorrow. Since there’s been a slight delay, I thought I could at least give you all a little more than usual. Tomorrow’s full episode will have three poems from Calvero as well as our conversation, so for today, here’s one more: ‘My Beached Whale Mother.’”
Sooo stoked. Matthew does an even better job reading my poems than I do.
Damn him…….
