I had a wonderful conversation with poet and creative Nancy Kangas at her "Emergency Poetry Clinic in Red Hook Brooklyn -- See PGF #17 -- and wanted more. And so -- Nancy invited her poet-friend Karl Michael Iglesias and we sat down in the pinball loft of Gebhard's Beer Culture Bar with PGF co-host Chris Brandt to talk about the work of editing a poem. A fun adventure through the creative minds of two poets who enjoy each other's work.

Our producer – Alina Larson – told us about Nancy Kangas’s Emergency Poetry Clinic in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It seemed clear to me that America needs an emergency poetry clinic; I wanted to see what that was about. and so on a recent Tuesday morning I took a subway and a bus and a walk to 166 Van Dyke Street, Brooklyn. Earlier that morning I looked up “Nancy Kangas” and discovered a creative who defies categorization – Nancy K rides the wind of her whims.

I arrived at 10:17am -- Ms. K was ensconced on the other side of a store front window in a tiny, colorful -- Thru the Looking Glass -- office.

Nancy Kangas and her poet friend Karl Michael Iglesias will be on Poetry Good For podcast in the very near future.
