This week, we're scratching The Itch to fight evil with poetry. Aaron does his first ever solo interview with one of his favorite artists, poet and musician Micah Bournes. Micah is raising funds for a double album exploring the ins and outs of romance. Along with that, Micah discusses the nature of war, living as a nomad, using his words to create music, and, well, the audacity of caucacity. It's a wild ride that might change how you view art and the experience of being Black in America. Enjoy.

You can support Micah via his Patreon, where he constantly shares new poems and art that is influencing him.

Links to some of the poems and songs mentioned in this conversation:
Just War Theory
Native Tongue
Freakshow
Talk Is Cheap
