Dan and Brigid hold it down this week as they interview acclaimed poet and children's book author Lesléa Newman. They discuss her education with the Beats, how her writing helps her heal, and how the Jewish concept of tikkun olam informs her mission to give voice to the voiceless. Then, Dan and Brigid are joined by WTS Special Library Correspondent Lily Jenness to tear apart Forbes's history of anti-library think pieces.
