Flash Briefing: Gabrielle Bates Reads "How Judas Died" from Gulf Coast: Journal of Literature & Arts - a podcast by C. R. Grimmer

Today's flash briefing poetry reading is Gabrielle Bates from way back when we did poetry comics and BoJack Horseman (literally, search that on YouTube and/or The Poetry Podcast and glean her amazingness from that longer episode!). Her poem, "How Judas Died," came out in Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature & Arts, today. To celebrate, she's reading it to you here! If nothing else, it should inspire you to spend a solid lunch ($12) on purchasing the most recent issue of the journal, because supporting small print presses and journals is rad. More on Gabrielle Bates -- Gabrielle Bates works at Open Books: A Poem Emporium and edits for the Seattle Review, Poetry Northwest, Broadsided Press, and Bull City Press. The recipient of support from the Bread Loaf Writers Conference, Hugo House, and Artist Trust, her poems and poetry comics appear in The New Yorker, Poetry, New England Review, and jubilat, among other journals. Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, she currently lives in Seattle. You can find more of her work at (www.gabriellebat.es).
