No one ever loses those big emotions they felt as a teenager – we only lose the space and joy of staring at the ceiling, bumping whatever sad-sack sounds soothe the soul while considering the meaning of it all. Author Cloud Delfina Cardona channels those impeccable impulses in her poetry collection, the perfectly titled the past is a jean jacket. Listen to Cardona’s own reading, accompanied by literary fellows Amber Isaac, Dee Lalo Garcia, and Travis Shosa. Gently indulge your past self with an evening of poetry. – Cat McCarrey
