Episode 117: Maggie Smith
Maggie Smith is a poet and essayist based in Bexley, Ohio. Maggie\u2019s new book Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity, and Change was born out of a difficult life change; it both discusses and is an example of resilience and hope in the face of an unknown future. In our conversation, we talked about the book\u2019s origins in a series of social media notes-to-self, about becoming an essayist after having been a poet for so long, and about finding agency through language. Then for the second segment, we talked about community and connection via social media.
(Conversation recorded September 10, 2020.)
