Join Chicago poet José Olivarez and USA TODAY entertainment editor Pamela Avila for an in-depth discussion on Olivarez's second poetry collection, "Promises of Gold."
"Promises of Gold" focuses on a familial, brotherly, romantic, platonic and self kinds of love.

"It felt to me romantic love was given the most airplay in books, movies and TV shows," Olivarez tells USA TODAY. "The more I thought about it, friendships are really those relationships that aren't necessarily permanent, but they're so important and so meaningful. Yet, they're not usually the focal point of many books that I was reading or movies that I was watching."
