19.26: Bringing Falconry into Writing

Published: June 30, 2024, 8 a.m.

Today we are joined by the incredible falconer Krista Hong Edwards. Krista was kind enough to take our hosts out with her falcons, and we had the most amazing time! Krista sat down with us to talk about falcons, literature, and much more. Check out our liner notes (below) for all of the texts we reference!\xa0


Thing of the Week: Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey: A Novel Book by Kathleen Rooney


Homework: Look up your local falconry club and see if you can attend their next event!
