Poetry in Conversation with Matthew Nienow and Iain Haley Pollock
<p>Two poets gather to discuss their work in the final episode of the season. <strong>Iain Haley Pollock’s </strong>All The Possible Bodies examines the myths we tell about ourselves, our families and nation, as well as asks the questions: How do we make peace with our hypocrisy and complicity in a social order that harms us all? Can and should we? <strong>Matthew Nienow’s</strong> If Nothing is a reckoning of alcoholism, fatherhood, longing and loss, and the need for forgiveness. </p>

Don't Take This the Wrong Way with Kim Magowan & Michelle Ross

Experimental Memoirs with Tom McAllister & Sebastian Matthews
<p><strong>Sebastian Matthews </strong>and <strong>Tom McAllister </strong>discuss their experimental memoir structures in this episode of the Fall for the Book Podcast. In The Patient Body: A Personal Narrative in Pieces, Sebastian questions what it means to lead a balanced life as a husband, father, friend, and more through a mosaic of ‘flash’ pieces. McAllister’s It All Felt Impossible: 42 Years in 42 Essays delivers on the ambitious promise of the title. The essays, which all are 1,500 words or less, explores the profound and mundane moments that build a life.</p>
