In July’s episode, Rayanne interviews Dr. Micheline Maylor. Dr. Maylor was Calgary’s Poet Laureate from 2016-18. Her latest poetry collection is The Bad Wife (U of A Press, 2021). The Bad Wife is an intimate, first-hand account of how to ruin a marriage. This is a story of divorce, love, and what should have been, told in a brave and unflinching voice. Pulling the reader into a startling web of sensuality, guilt, resentment, and pleasure, this collection asks: what if you set off a bomb in your own house?
During this podcast, Micheline Maylor speaks about elevating the personal to the universal, the importance of studying craft so one can break the rules and how looking at our confessional work as a witness safeguards truth and vulnerability while rebelling within the art form.
