Ep 5: Grace Gellatly - The Comfort of Poetry, Coffee & Sad Songs Life On Track

Poet & local business owner Grace Gellaty (she/they) discusses the soundtrack of their life with host JB Snyder. Grace just recently celebrated the one year anniversary of Wallflower, the Portland coffee shop she co-owns, and the release of her third poetry book, Spare Change Ghost.

In this vulnerable and often tender conversation Grace takes us through her earliest discoveries of songwriting she connected with and discusses how sad songs have brought her so much comfort and inspiration.
