  Daniel talks with Cathy Linh Che, author of the poetry collection "Split," winner of the 2012 Kundiman Poetry Prize.  Cathy explains why she chose the contest route to try to get her works published rather than trying to find a willing publisher.  She also talks addresses the sexual abuse that is prevalent in her poetry collection.   http://cathylinhche.com/
