Man, it's around 100 AM in the morning here in Tulsa. The darkness is shining in through the window. Oklahoma buzzes on. Through the blinking headlights, the silent trees, and sleepy porch pirates.
I went to a bookstore today. Haven't been in one in some time - usually I'm in the amazon internet places. It's cool to hold a physical thing, rifle through the pages and sniff the vowels right off the page. Snort the spine. Rifling through the books was a blast. Bookstores morph.
I was relistening back to this episode as I edited it down - throwing away chunks here and there. I just love this stuff. I am a lucy freaking person.
The fact I get to talk to Charles Jensen - author of the new book Splice of Life - a memoir in 13 genres - available now! Also, he wrote an excellent book called "Nanopedia" published in 2018.
Charles also is a podcaster, you know. He hosts The Write Process and is a poet as well - even reads one of his poems on the podcast. Thanks for listening everyone. I love me some essays. Essayists. I think poetry and essays blend very well together. I appreciate all the listening you all do. I live a cool life, where I'm able to do this. That people will talk to me.
