Graywolf Lab is an online platform for interdisciplinary conversations and new writing from Graywolf Press. The podcast hosts conversations with artists and writers that act as starting points for an exploration of a particular theme over several months. Between themes, it also hosts conversations led by Graywolf Press authors and other collaborators.
In this inaugural episode, Graywolf's executive editor Yuka Igarashi explores the theme of time with an interdisciplinary group of artists. First, we hear from Kweku Abimbola —Graywolf published his debut poetry collection, Saltwater Demands a Psalm in April. Then Lisa Hsiao Chen, author of the 2022 novel Activities of Daily Living, followed by performance artist, theater artist, and educator Daniel Alexander Jones. Lastly we hear from Thao Nguyen, best known for her band Thao and the Get Down Stay Down. The podcast opens with an introduction by Graywolf Press publisher, Carmen Giménez.
