  <p>Two poets gather to discuss their work in the final episode of the season. Iain Haley Pollock’s All The Possible Bodies examines the myths we tell about ourselves, our families and nation, as well as asks the questions: How do we make peace with our hypocrisy and complicity in a social order that harms us all? Can and should we? Matthew Nienow’s If Nothing is a reckoning of alcoholism, fatherhood, longing and loss, and the need for forgiveness. </p>
