In Episode 62 of PennSound podcasts, the Reno, Nevada–based poet Jared Stanley visited Philadelphia and the Kelly Writers House in April 2017 during a book tour for the release of EARS, which Sam Lohmann in The Volta has called "a manifesto of interdependence and susceptibility, a theory of the senses, and a deliberate sequence of jokes about lyric address." In this PennSound podcast interview with Brian Teare, Stanley talks about how notions such as friendship, ethics, and animism inform the scope of his work.
