I had the privilege of interviewing Kaveh Akbar about his debut novel, MARTYR! Listen to our discussion about the transition from writing poetry (award winning) to fiction, fiction as thought experiment, and the laughing worm (yes, we did.) A lovely, heartbreaking work that ultimately speaks to resilience and hope.
