<description>&lt;p&gt;In celebration of National Poetry Month, we thought it worthwhile to revisit this conversation with the authors of the Meat For Tea Press book &lt;em&gt;Midnight Glossolalia &lt;/em&gt;to this engaging episode. They read some of the works in this collaborative book, talk about creative process and a ton more. Do tuck in! Warning! There is some "language" in this episode. But we're all adults here, right? Right. RIGHT! Please enjoy this episode with Scott Ferry, Lillian Necakov &amp;amp; Lauren Scharhag!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
