Cathy, Kirsten, and I sit down to talk about How About Now: Poems by Kate Baer. We explore the poems we connected with most, whether the tone feels heavy or introspective, and what the collection reveals about navigating the everyday. We also dive into how poetry can find beauty in the mundane, and why reading work like Baer’s feels so important right now.
