I'm not sure if this is meant in good faith but it's not actually an extremely hard question. I've lived and worked as an artist in two countries (Ireland and the Netherlands) and while neither is perfect, I've met many artists from the US who've moved to both to find somewhere where the hustle to survive is less demoralising and the cultural attitudes less conservative. Again I have plenty of criticisms of both Irish and Dutch attitudes and institutions, but at the very least in comparison to the US the kind of education he's describing here is between a fifth and a tenth of the price.
I enjoyed the interview. Not sure about the theme of white supremacy being the intro to a poetry class? Seems a bit too saturated conversation these days, but hope good open minded, honest poetry is being explored there not like the typical MFA identity focused poetry. Cheers!

It must be fabulous to be his student, he’s eloquent and intelligent.
And he seems like a kind human being instead of an asshole like so many professors 🙊
Leaving the Atocha Station is a hidden classic
It's tremendous, still his best work in my opinion
I finished it yesterday - superb novel!
He would be such an interesting teacher
I feel like his class would be an interesting past time
Me thought him would talk Good based on text he wrote schon. And he do. Talk Good i mean.

Introducing a counter term! To some degree. Off to the races with us!
So if the US is not a hospitable environment for people who are trying to work in the arts, what country is?
Good question
