Women of LettersA geographical mind: In conversation with Kapka KassabovaThe only word that can be used to adequately describe Kapka’s work is ‘mesmerizing.’ The effect either of reading her writing or of listening to her speak is one of being swept into what feels like an alternate dimension, where everything is tinged with a kind of numinosity and wonder.To experience the vividness of her perspective once is to seek its repeated encounter — and, fortunately for us, it can be found throughout what are currently more than a dozen of her published books and countless interviews. I’m delighted, with our conversation, to have added to this ri...2025-06-2449 min
Feeding the Senses - UnsensoredFeeding the Senses Unsensored - Episode 125 - Jim Reilley - Producer, Songwriter, MusicianProducer/bassist Jim Reilley will most likely be remembered as a founding member (along with musical partner Reese Campbell) of seminal folk rock band The New Dylans. Founded in 1986,the band barnstormed the US throughout the 90’s and won critical praise from Rolling Stone (who called their songs “offbeat classics”) and virtually every other major music publication and major newspaper. The Village Voice placed the band in the top 5 Ep’s of 1986 in their prestigious Pazz and Jop Poll. The band won the hearts and minds of many fans in the then burgeoning AAA American radio format and had...2025-06-241h 01
Women of LettersEveryone is a mentor: In conversation with Jennifer BakerI first discovered Jennifer through her Minorities in Publishing podcast, which shines a light on underrepresented professionals in the book publishing world. Its episodes generously offer everything from real-world context on issues like representation to a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing industry to a deep dive into the personal histories of guests.The podcast recently celebrated its 10th anniversary and is already charging ahead through its 11th year — a feat of longevity that, under her leadership, simultaneously comes as no surprise to long-time listeners and marks a significant accomplishment in today’s increasingly ephemeral media landscape.

Women of LettersThe experience of caring: In conversation with Marianne BrookerIn all my reading, I’ve encountered few works like Marianne’s Intervals.Her book offers a capacious look at life, death, and dying through a chronicling of her mother’s decision to withdraw from life-sustaining treatments. As she describes it, “Intervals are temporary places of rupture and of rest; they are liminal, partial and in-between. … I invite you to bear loose witness — to sit with me, as close to the pain as I can get — on the condition that the story doesn’t end here, that there is yet a world to win.”The result is an expan...2025-04-3029 min
Women of LettersOf language, of poetry, of memory: In conversation with Mary Jo BangEvery so often, you encounter someone who has done so much so well that it becomes difficult to capture the extent of their accomplishments. Mary Jo is one of those people.She’s published nine books of poetry and numerous works of translation, with another — Dante’s Paradiso — forthcoming later this year. Her poems have been selected for inclusion in the Best American Poetry series multiple times, and she’s taught everywhere from Yale University to the New School to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

Slamdance First Film PodcastMo Perkins: How to Shoot a Feature Film In Your ApartmentToday's guest is award-winning writer/director Mo Perkins. Her debut feature film, A QUIET LITTLE MARRIAGE, won the grand jury prize at Slamdance in 2009 and was released by IFC Films. Mo first met her two leads, Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Cy Carter, on her UCLA thesis short film "Piss Hat" which was nominated for a Student Academy Award. The trio got together and collaborated on the script in a process reminiscent of Mike Leigh. Using limited budget and resources, the film was designed to film in an apartment— Mo's apartment.

Women of LettersHow writing could be: In conversation with Elisa GabbertI consider Elisa to be among the foremost essayists of our time.As someone who is both a poet and an essayist, she writes in a way that few others do. Regular readers of her work will have noticed, for example, how her prose contains both the crystalline logic of well-reasoned argument and the subtle music of verse — how it features, simultaneously, the rational and the rhythmic, marrying thoughtful reasoning with sonic richness. It is thus no surprise that she regularly publishes in places like The Paris Review and The New York Times (where she has been a...2025-02-1802 min
Women of LettersOurselves, each other, and the world around us: In conversation with Noreen MasudAs someone who now, effectively, lives between three different countries, I’ve become increasingly interested in the relationship between space and self. I’m finding that, far from being the passive surroundings onto which we project our experiences of the world, the places in which we conduct our days are, in fact, the very ingredients that determine who we are and how we are able to think.These themes take center stage in Noreen’s A Flat Place, a rich and winding work which has as its subject the specific environment of flat landscapes — those that are not just...2025-01-2153 min
Women of LettersTo live many different lives: In conversation with Ayşegül SavaşMy notes, in preparation for the writing of this introduction, formed a web of densely concentrated insight on the human experience courtesy of Ayşegül’s latest novel, The Anthropologists. The book follows its main character, Asya — a documentary filmmaker — through the kind of rich chronicling of her everyday life that is often offered within the context of anthropological writings. The small, in this way, is made large, expanding to fill the container of major narrative events in ways that would typically be reserved for moments of high drama.“Daily life,” Asya says at one point in the novel...2024-10-1502 min
Women of LettersSo much that we’re not able to see: In conversation with Iris Jamahl DunkleAll of us, I think, have had the experience of seeing someone else take credit for something we’ve done. But how many of us can say that our work was used by another person to earn a Nobel Prize?The American novelist, poet, and editor Sanora Babb can, as Iris so brilliantly illuminates in her forthcoming biography, Riding Like the Wind. In Babb’s case, it was John Steinbeck who took credit for her work when — despite lacking her permission — he used her notes to write The Grapes of Wrath. His novel went on to win not only...2024-09-1854 min

The CavsCorner PodcastEpisode 338: A Year I'll Never ForgetOn this week’s installment of the CavsCorner Podcast, we say goodbye to 2019 as we look back at the Orange Bowl and what we took away from the 36-28 loss to Florida as well as the football season as a whole and what our lasting memories of it will be. Then we transition to hoops side of things, where the Wahoos are about to embark on the bulk of their ACC slate. We’ll get into our expectations at this point and preview Saturday’s matchup with the Hokies.

In the spirit of the upcoming NBA Draft and on the heels of the lottery, we decided to do our own UVa basketball (under Tony Bennett) draft. In this episode we each make a team of eight former/current Hoos and try to put together the best squad. Who went first? Who got left out? And whose team reigns supreme?
