Professor Peter Dale Scott reads his new poem for Dan Ellsberg. We then discuss the "Reagan Revolution" and how its dawning was the catalyst for a psychic crisis that Peter resolved through poetry—Coming to Jakarta, specifically.
This is the 16th installment of our oral history series with the prolific poet, historian, and political theorist who gave us parapolitics as well as the deep politics approach.
Special thanks to Casey Moore for the episode art and Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering!
