	Description:		This week, Cindy Juyoung Ok talks with torrin a. greathouse, a transgender cripple-punk poet and essayist who is the author of DEED, which is forthcoming from Wesleyan University Press, and Wound from the Mouth of a Wound (Milkweed Editions, 2020). Ok and greathouse discuss the ways in which poetic forms can function as open-source software, and they dive into the beloved burning haibun form greathouse created. She wrote about the form for Poetry’s new series, “Not Too Hard to Master,” which you can find alongside her Springsteen-inspired burning haibun, “Dancing in the Dark,” in the July/August issue of Poetry. They also interrogate the anti-trans rhetoric and language of radical white feminist poets, and greathouse reads “There’s No Trace of the Word ‘Transgender’ in Adrienne Rich’s Biography,” which previously appeared in Poetry.
