We went back into the archives for an oldie but greatie! Join Mica as she chats with love experts Mandy Len Catron and Carrie Jenkins about love sweet love. Together, they answer questions from listeners about prioritizing (or not prioritizing) romantic love, how love and violence are linked through language, divorce, and relationship contracts that have nothing to do with marriage! Also please enjoy Mica's opening monologue, in which she roasts her former self and divulges details of her romantic past.

Poet Cara Nelissen's writing explores desire—but not the grand, romantic, gotta-have-you-now kind. She's more interested in pining, unrequited wanting, and the kind of bleeding love that makes us all feel kind of...pathetic. In this episode, Cara and Mica talk about queer pining, why Cara likes to discuss death on a first date, what *might* happen when you die, MAGIC, and why crows are kind of spectacular. Enter 2020 with a healthy does of love and death and magic! Also please buy Cara's chapbook, Pray For Us Girls (Rahila's Ghost Press), because it's beautiful and it will fill your soul with hope and longing and crow facts.
