For episode 9, Sanna discusses crushes with local love expert EJ Kneifel. EJ and Sanna define crushing through concentric circles; compare and contrast their poetic natures; and strike the gong of ekphrasis and guides.
The spirit of Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid broadly informs the conversation: mothering, dreams of oneness, and relentless, even vicious, desire for freedom. Together, the duo explores questions like: How do we pattern? What is the soup we are stewing in? And, most importantly: who do we have a crush on right now?!
PS...listen past the end credits for a special treat.
