In this episode, I sit down with the multi-talented Alex Osman, a writer, musician, and photographer based in Austin, Texas. We dive into his latest poetry collection, Scandals, which was released on August 1st. Alex shares the organic process behind compiling the collection, starting with just 20 poems in 2021 and eventually amassing nearly 80.
We delve into his unique approach to art, where unfulfilled film scripts often become poems or short stories. A particularly fascinating story is how John Waters discovered Alex's work, leading to an unexpected and supportive friendship.
We also touch on Alex's musical endeavors with his projects A Need to Be Shot and Thinner, both available on Bandcamp. Additionally, we explore his passion for photography, influenced by icons like William Eggleston and Diane Arbus, and his ongoing project to compile a full-length photo book.
Thanks for listening!
