For this mini episode, host Lauren Korn gives listeners a look into The Write Question’s eighteenth season, coming this fall. In this sneak peek, you’ll hear memoirist Sarah Capdeville speaking about her debut memoir, Aligning the Glacier’s Ghost: Essays on Solitude and Landscape (University of Mexico Press), an incredibly lyric collection of essays that cohere into a tender whole, giving readers (and here, MTPR listeners) a look into Sarah’s experiences in nature, with chronic pain, within queer communities, and within and outside of her solitude(s).
Join Lauren this fall for brand new episodes of The Write Question, featuring Kevin Barry, Chris La Tray, Julia Phillips, Joe Wilkins, Ben Goldfarb, and so many others!
Full-length episodes of The Write Question can be heard on MTPR every Thursday at 7PM and every Sunday at 5:30AM.
