On today’s show, we talk to Eufemia Fantetti. Eufemia is a writer and professor whose work delves into often difficult emotional territory using forthright language, a recognizable and familiar voice, and humour. Her writing work has bridged fiction, nonfiction, and playwriting, and has appeared in multiple volumes, including Love Me True, Exploring Voice, and Body & Soul. Her first book, A Recipe for Disaster & Other Unlikely Tales of Love, was runner up for the 2013 Danuta Gleed Literary Award, and a winner of the 2014 F.G. Bressani Prize. Eufemia’s memoir, My Father, Fortune-tellers & Me was released in 2019 by Mother Tongue Publishing. Today Eufemia joins us to discuss the process of turning life into art via memoir, thinking like an editor, and bringing creative practice to the classroom.
