In this episode we celebrate love: big beautiful love. This time of year, we’re programmed to focus on couple love. Cupid and his arrow, etc., among other cliches. But there is a much more expansive love available to us, Neptunian rather than Venusian. It’s terraphilia, as author Susan Tweit calls it. Love of the earth and all its inhabitants. Love for those with us and those who have departed. First, we’ll hear from writer Rowena Yeseta. Then we’ll welcome Maryam Barrie for another segment of Poetry Sustains.

I speak with author Carol Menaker and discuss her memoir "The Worst Thing We’ve Ever Done, One Juror’s Reckoning with Racial Injustice." Her book explores the trial and unjust incarceration of Freddy Muhammed Burton, imprisoned for over fifty years now in Pennsylvania for crimes he did not commit.

Update: On January 8, Menaker reported that "Muhammed was transferred to Chester, PA from Somerset, PA, an event that has been underway for more than two years. He told Eleanor (Jonathan Gettleman’s mother) that he was so happy. That he felt like he’d gone from hell to heaven and that the people are very nice. Turns out the Chester facility is designated for all the “old heads” so many of the inmates there are known to him because they’ve all been moved around the system for years. Apparently he knows half the men who are there."
