Ross Gay's new book of poetry Against Which is attracting some buzz. Ross is a Philadelphia-based poet whose heritage figures prominently in his work. His father was black, his mother is white and his writing is full of a rare poetic energy. In his own words, "There's a part of poetry that is essential and indispensable to my life." We'll talk with Ross about the ways his own poetry can radically alter his views. Ross Gay teaches New England College's MFA program in Poetry.
