In our discussion of "The Priest Questions the Lava," Katy describes the sentience of the natural world, her erasure of documentary texts, her interest in visual poetry, and the importance of poems that examine ethical and spiritual questions in an era of climate change.
To see Katy's erasure, click on the Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day feature (https://poets.org/poem/ore-choir-priest-questions-lava).
