The Amy Beecher Show Amy Beecher

Bronwen Tate writes poems about sex after miscarriage, among other things. She is brilliant, she is my friend. Recorded from my bed in 2022, I don’t entirely remember what we talked about…definitely writing, higher education, friendship, and Barbara Johnson.

Filmmaker Leslie Tai’s How To Have an American Baby is streaming on PBS through March 10, 2024. The POV documentary is an intimate look at the shadow economy that caters to Chinese parents who travel to the US to give birth for citizenship. We discuss the film, the commodification of American motherhood, the tragedies of infant morbidity, and what birth sounds like (in any language). Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of death and medical malpractice.

NYC Crit Club is a misleading name for the collaborative learning program that Catherine Haggarty and Hilary Doyle founded five years ago. A) You can take classes with them from anywhere in the world B) it's super inclusive (affordable!)- less a club, more a gathering. I'm teaching there in the spring and Mira Fucking Schor is teaching there in the fall..two icons! Listen on for more info. Enrollment opens August 15th.

PS: We don't usually do #ads because that would break from this pod's brand of time consuming and unprofitable that Amy has built over so many years. But NYC Crit Club is great, worth the exception.   #intentional  #plug. 

 

Didier and I talk Miami, Haiti, immigrant experiences, concepts of home, and painting (of course). Also: how to not sleep train a baby.
