Writing Forward welcomes Dantiel W. Moniz, author of the acclaimed story collection "Milk Blood Heat," which was shortlisted for the PEN/Jean Stein Award, the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize, and the New York Public Library Young Lions Fiction Award.
In this episode, Dantiel discusses why she chose Wisconsin over Iowa, the hard-won confidence that allowed her to embrace her authority as a storyteller, and how the loss of her mother reshaped both her life and her work.
Writing Forward is a conversation show exploring what keeps Wisconsin writers moving forward, one word at a time.
