Episode notes
Join us for an hour-plus with Rebecca Wolff, founder and long-time editor of Fence the journal as well as Fence Books (disclosure: Hilary is a Fence author, we’ll get into it). We talk about the promise and problems of the ‘90s, “indie” structures and dreams, and the elusive concepts of “weird” and “cool.” Also discussed: professionalization, idiosyncrasy, money, obstinacy, being a “public art person,” writing emails, collaboration, and not being a brand (but what if that’s your brand).
We talk about how Fence has recently transitioned to new leadership under Emily Wallis Hughes, Jason Zuzga, and other great editors—congrats! Sharing our excitement for the next stage of Fence. We also briefly touch on Rebecca’s time in local government in Hudson, NY.
Find Rebecca’s new book of poems Slight Return over at Wave. And recently out from Fence Books: Harmony Holiday’s Maafa & Kenneth Reveiz’s Mopes.
