“Jon Stepp: The Value Of the Handcrafted”
From Mitch’s Notebook about the episode:
“ I first became acquainted with Jon Stepp more for the joy of conversation with him than for any particular knowledge of his artistic practice.
Later I was to discover that he was a visual artist in all sorts of media and was quite eloquent in expressing what it means for him to do his art. It is true that many artists are not always the most articulate on such matters perhaps for reasons of psycho...2020-03-101h 23

“I was first introduced to Jaimee Wriston Colbert by her daughter Mailie Colbert, who told me I should read her mother's books. I read Climbing The God Tree, and later Shark Girls, and more recently, Vanishing Acts with the greatest pleasure. Colbert's work is exciting in its formal inventiveness: it blurs the line between short stories and the novel for one, magical thing, moreover it is fiction rooted in the real lives of ordinary humanity, sometimes, and in some instances people who are unfortunately forgotten or overlooked in a lot of book...2019-12-131h 20
