Episode 159: Back Among the Thumbs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Slushies! We’re delighted to have our own Marion Wrenn back at the table, throwing thumbs yea or nay. And Karen Hildebrand had so much fun discussing summer reads in our last episode, she decided to join us for another show (we welcome her back with only minor hazing). Today we’re discussing two poems by K. Hari. The first, “Rage Yoga After Roe”, gets us thinking about female spaces and friendships. We discuss what kind of poems can stand-alone and which ones are best in a manuscript when other
Episode 158: Kiss Summer Goodbye! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re back, Slushies! Did you miss us? We missed being with you. Much of our time this summer was spent reading an array of excellent books and today we share that abundance with you. Our wide-ranging conversation touches on blockbusters, novels, poetry, craft books, and (would you believe), an encyclical from Pope Leo XIV. Kathy gets a gold star, summer-reading-challenge style, for the stack of books she read on the beach. Dagne weighs in on the plus side for audio books. And several editors ar

Read excerpt
Hello, Slushies! We hope you’re keeping cool out there. In this encore episode, KVM rhapsodizes about the joy of a sandwich made with a perfect summer tomato. And Jason shares his astute thoughts on the nature of motherhood. Join in while the panel takes on three poems from poet Sarah Elkins. And thanks, as always for listening. Are you ready to get primal, Slushies? We look at poems of birth and mothering that call on the senses as they shift between what’s animal and what’s human in us. Kathy
Episode 100: A Steady Lub Dub (ENCORE) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Greetings, Slushies! We’re here with an encore episode today, one we chose for its excellent exploration of craft, including a discussion about the golden shovel and the definition of ambiguity. Listen in for that and for two poems from poet Marko Capoferri. Enjoy. Thanks, as always, for listening. How do you pronounce “San Gorgonio,” Slushies? How do you say “Schuylkill?” We talk regional accents, local knowledge, and artistic craft-- from the risks of the pathetic fallacy to the unknowability
