EPISODE 62 – INTERVIEW WITH JUSTIN MILLION

Recorded on Sunday, July 12, 2020 at 3pm over Zoom

Justin Million is the curator of the Show and Tell Poetry Series, and is a co-founder and the current poetry editor of bird, buried press. Million has been published in countless journals, chapbooks, ephemera, and online magazines. He lives in his hometown of Peterborough, Ontario with Elisa Rubacha, Nutmeg and their twelve typewriters. His book, EJECTA, THE UNCOLLECTED KEYBOARDS! POEMS, was recently published by Apt. 9 Press.

We open the new season with an interview with Justin Million, whose first trade poetry book, Ejecta, is now out with Apt. 9 Press. The book is based on his show, KEYBOARDS!, which took place at the Garnet bar in Peterborough. In a one-person show, Justin would compose poems on a typewriter at the bar and let them be taken by members of the audience.

Stay tuned for the next episode. Upcoming guests include Dani Spinosa and Sachiko Murakami.
