Oliver Khan talks about his beginnings as a poet and why he favors poetry as an outlet for his thoughts, sharing insights into his process and craft. We talk about his use of white space as a tool to honor the wound in each of his poems. Oliver elaborates on what keeps him up at night before ending with readings from two elegies - the first in ghazal form to Agha Shahid Ali and the second, a prose poem titled Your breath thin as wires, to his beloved departed uncle.
