Joyce Carol Oates + Katie Melua

Legendary author Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) reads her poem “Too Young to Marry, but Not Too Young to Die” at a live performance in San Francisco. International pop star Katie Melua (@KatieMelua) shares a studio recording of a song she wrote in response called "Forever Sunlit," and talks about her evolving creative process. The poem is about how what seems romantic to a young person looks increasingly laughable, even asinine, as we get older, and the two artists talk about what it means to be a teenager, and how their perspectives have shifted over time.
