Molly Kat at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe: Why Things Burn

Molly told me about this video: "This poem is very hard for me to perform... I've gotten to the point where I can do it without crying, and that has been quite the feat. It's dedicated to Daphne Gottlieb because of her book, called 'Why Things Burn.' I carried that book with me everywhere for months, and it inspired this poem."
