Kevin Young joins me for a deep dive into the writing life. We discuss the intimacy of the archives, writing through grief, and the evolution of our work over time. 

Kevin is the author of multiple award-winning books of poetry and prose, his most recent being Night Watch (Knopf, 2025), and serves as poetry editor of The New Yorker.
