F2K Ep. 13: David West Pt. 2

Fun 2 Know Podcast

Lucky Episode 13: David West Part 2: Our second of a two-part episode with San Francisco poet David West. In this second part, our discussion travels beyond history and biography and into the realm of pure conversation and gives us a look at how David uses the knowledge and wisdom he has collected to navigate the world. The topics swing through everything from Thelonious Monk, W.B. Auden, Shakespeare, Dante, Mark Twain, The Pussycat Dolls, Hip-hop, the politics of protest, Obama, cultural inertia, and television, but as rambling as things get, David always brings it back to poetry, letting us see the world through the poet's eyes.
