Listen In: Steve McLaughlin Talks to the Amazing Angela Genusa

Stephen McLaughlin had the wise idea to talk to poet, artist, and all-around genius Angela Genusa for his Jacket2 podcast, Into the Field; and now we are the fortunate listeners. "It seemed like you appeared from nowhere. I had never heard of you, and suddenly, this person with this full body of totally relevant and amazing work just appeared on the scene," says McLaughlin. These two talk about humor in Conceptual writing and art, meeting Gordon Faylor and publishing with Gauss PDF and Troll Thread, how Genusa has used spam and coding in her work most successfully, feeling geographically distant from most poets, Keston Sutherland's article "Junk Subjectivity," and much more. She also performs her own work--a rare treat!
