A little awkward interview and reading of my Rattle Poets Respond poem, “Into the Metaverse.”

I felt I could have done a better job discussing how the poem only worked for me after I abandoned all my preconceived biases against Facebook and Mr. Zuckerberg. It was only after reflecting on the effects such terms as “metaverse” have on how we experience the world that I was free to write a poem that surprised me as I wrote it.
