This is Why I Never Left- With Milo Santamaria
Saturday, 16 August, 2025
In this return episode of GarageLand Radio, Steven sits down with poet and archivist Milo Santamaria to talk about their debut poetry collection, "This Is Why I Never Left". What starts as a quiet reflection on writing, memory, and place slowly opens into something more raw: anger, loss, betrayal, and the long process of reclaiming your voice after harm. Together, they discuss:How a high school poem turned into a full-length bookWhy softness and rage can coexistThe role of visual art and cyanotype in building an emotional archiveWhy community matters more than everThe conversation closes with Milo reading three poems from the collection: “Tired,” “Planting Guide,” and the title piece, “This Is Why I Never Left.” It’s vulnerable, reflective, and quietly powerful.Follow us on IG and TikTok @garagelandradio and @garagelandmediafoundationCheck for updates on www.garagelandmedia.orgFollow Milo on IG at @milo_s64 and purchase a copy of "This is Why I Never Left" here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc03wkZ2aqW9DHms0tQMAOk-MhrkaNNm_09C-PJy28WT-dbLw/viewform?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwLGhF9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp6ez8M6fjUqGpjgh9ISdPM0g6YQZ7LX0NRWLbPA8EPsaLriJFyDCOCoj-yym_aem_3xTyDuc9Z06Ue1rpfLNtaQ
