In the final episode of Dear Oklahoma, Season 1, poet John
Andrews, author of Colin Is Changing His Name (Sibling
Rivalry Press) and a 2018 Oklahoma Book Award finalist, reads a
poem he created for our podcast and tells us the reason he stays in
Oklahoma.
John, who grew up in Sheridan, Arkansas, chats with Lindsey and
Emily about his experiences coming of age as a gay man in the
south, explains why a text message breakup makes excellent material
for poems, and shares how he reconnected with the man who would
become his husband after moving to Stillwater, Oklahoma.
