Episode Details

Chris Banks is an award winning and critically acclaimed poet whose fifth collection, Midlife Action Figure, will be published in September.

While he has been a publishing poet for many years, a recent low point in his life was the catalyst for a renewed commitment to his craft, which inspired an explosion of output that took him to a new creative level. Join us for an inspiring conversation about valuing process over praise, doing the work, art as therapy, mental health, and 1980s arcade culture.

Oh, and the time Douglas Coupland bought his shirt.
