Sabrina Orah Mark : Happily
Today’s guest is poet, storyteller, and now essayist Sabrina Orah Mark. Her latest book, Happily: A Personal History—with Fairy Tales, is an intriguing blend of two radically different forms, memoir and fairy tale.

Monica Youn : From From
In today’s conversation with poet Monica Youn we explore what it means to write from a poetics of difference rather than of authenticity, a poetics of deracination rather than identity.

Customer Reviews
Long form
The long form allows for deeper conversations. The questions are well informed holding thoughtful twists going beyond the standard banter.
I often listen and take notes or listen and do some handwork (stitching or knitting or laborious drawing). The poets are almost all new to me and I love learning about them through these interviews. They are each priceless.
✨brilliant & bountiful. This podcast delivers so much intellectual goodness and soul
First time listener here. But won’t be the last. The Gabrielle Bates interview was my gateway drug to this wonderful gem. What a thoughtful, brilliant conversation. The host does an amazing job of connecting with the guest writer. And clearly, he does his homework, so he can go deep beneath the superficial in the conversation. Thank you. Loved it. And I love, love, love the gut-wrenchingly gorgeous Judas Goat by Gabrielle Bates. . Thank you so much for helping me appreciate it even more.
Such deep and generative interviews!!
So grateful I stumbled on this in a twitter post. It lights up my love for art and lengthens my to-read list with an urgency.
