In this episode, you’ll hear a conversation between Professors Harvey Hix and Stephen Dillon about Hix’s book American Outrage: A Testamentary, a work of poetry that is also a compendium of extensive research about gun violence in the United States. It memorializes the lives lost, while also representing the data, concepts, and ideas through which we attempt to make sense of the problem. The conversation reflects the breadth and depth of the book under discussion, covering Hix’s motivation for writing American Outrage, the book’s unique structure, the challenges of comprehending gun violence, inequities in how human lives are valued and recorded, and much more.If you'd like to read passages from the book before listening, you can find scans of pages read during the podcast here.
