    Olga Ravn : The Wax Child

    Set during the 17th century witch trials in Denmark, and relayed to us through the voice of a magically animated wax child of one of the accused, Olga Ravn’s new book, which creates something uncannily other from primary sources, has been heralded as a “devilishly subversive feminist anthem” and speaks as much to the present […] The post Olga Ravn : The Wax Child appeared first on Tin House.

    Laynie Browne : Apprentice to a Breathing Hand

    What does it mean to write toward or under the aura of another poet one admires, to write in homage, as a celebration of another?

What does it say about the self, or is discovered about it—within the […] The post Laynie Browne : Apprentice to a Breathing Hand appeared first on Tin House.

    Martha Anne Toll : Duet for One

    Today’s guest is writer and critic Martha Anne Toll. Through a discussion of her latest novel Duet for One we explore the perennial mystery of writing and art-making, namely how to render something that lives beyond representation, and how words can become a vehicle to evoke what words themselves cannot adequately describe.

    Rob Macaisa Colgate : Hardly Creatures & My Love is Water

    Today’s conversation with Rob Macaisa Colgate is about two books, his poetry collection Hardly Creatures and his verse drama My Love is Water. You could say these two books are approaching the same questions, but from opposite, if complementary vantage points. Questions of care and disability, of accessibility and community, of Filipino-American identity and the afterlives […] The post Rob Macaisa Colgate : Hardly Creatures & My Love is Water appeared first on Tin House.

    Robert Macfarlane : Is a River Alive?

    Don’t miss today’s conversation with Robert Macfarlane. A polyvocal deep dive into the mysteries of words and rivers, of speech acts as spells, whorls as worlds, of grammars of animacy, of what it means to river, and to be rivered. From the Epic of Gilgamesh to Virginia Woolf’s wave in the mind to Ursula K. […] The post Robert Macfarlane : Is a River Alive? appeared first on Tin House.

    adrienne maree brown : Ancestors

    With the arrival of Ancestors, the third and final book in adrienne maree brown’s Grievers Trilogy, we take the iconic frames she has created in her nonfiction work—emergent strategy, pleasure activism, fractal responsibility, loving corrections and more—and look at how they are dramatized within this fictional near-future Detroit. Much as the three books do themselves, […] The post adrienne maree brown : Ancestors appeared first on Tin House.
