POPULARITY
I have never reviewed or even written about a memoir before. For me, the question has always been how I can critique a view of someone's life and history. It's not a genre I have even grazed near because I just didn't know how to handle it. That was until The Problem Drinker, which offered me a unique approach. I had access to the subject and pitched that we have a drink to have a real conversation instead of a typical interview. Describing The Problem Drinker isn't an easy task because it feels like a snapshot of who a human being is. Kyle is brutally honest about himself, his world, and everything in it. There is a level of authenticity to how he writes this debut. Kyle is a problem drinker, not someone who is struggling with drinking. In the book, it's treated like a pastime or just a natural part of his life. But all around it is turmoil, heartache, and life itself. Between large life events, Kyle opens up his own rib cage to let the reader understand him a bit better. I have been lucky enough to befriend Kyle after being introduced to him by his girlfriend, CJ Leede, who is a character in the book. I have interviewed and spoken to CJ many times, so going from her book Headlights straight into this was a unique experience. You can feel Kyle, as a character in her book, in the most loving homage to her partner. But in The Problem Drinker, you get a real look at what love is. How love is formed in ordinary and everyday life, while never feeling mundane. The way Kyle writes about the people he loves is why this book is going to stick with me for some time. This conversation ranges from music to food to drinking stories, and everything in between that makes us human. It is an open and honest conversation that works as a companion piece to the incredible book. Make sure you check out the short film as well! About The Problem Drinker Kyle Kouri's debut non-fiction collection is full of 'whiskey courage' staring at the abyss of family, writing rejection, relationships, and his own drinking. From hijinks at AWP to hustling in the movie business, Kouri bridges the gap in drama between indie and horror. At turns hilarious and heartbreaking, The Problem Drinker is the story of an artist living with another artist, yearning to move the needle in his career, amidst a sea of personal tragedies and comedies. If F. Scott Fitzgerald had one foot in the 2020s horror scene, that's the spirit of Kouri's caustic and big-hearted, lush and refreshingly candid debut. About Kyle Kouri Kyle Kouri is an award-winning actor, writer, filmmaker, and producer. He received his MFA in Fiction from Columbia University, where he served as the online arts editor for the Columbia Journal. He is the co-founder of Slashtag Cinema, a film production company.

At the table: Eric Baker, Dagne Forrest, Tobi Kassim, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle, Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) We made it back from AWP, Slushies! Welcome to any new listeners who have joined our audience since seeing us there. And please join us in welcoming our longtime reader, Eric Baker, to the table. We're honored to discuss three poems from Jane Zwart. Once again, we call on Jason's knowledge of meter and syntax. Here we look at how the recursive syntax, like the memory of the woman in the poem, loops back on itself. The poem's epigraph places the reader in the cultural moment of the Great Depression and World War II era. Inherited family treasures, like Noritake China, carry memory. The poem echoed, for Dagne, one of Michael Montlack's poems from Episode 144. The team is charmed by Zwart's use of unexpected words like “redoubt” and “hypotenuse” in the second poem. Kathy notes that the poem is successful at conveying sentiment without slipping into the sentimental. She admires the use of the word “startlement” and we realize we'll be seeing more of it given Ada Limón's new book of the same name. Jason admires the ending's gentle touch, which lands on a lilt. In a happy synchronicity, the final poem's take on springtime's fickle nature matches our exasperation with the changeable weather. While the poem's postpositive placement of adjectives sends us back to elementary school grammar, we're enthralled with how such a simple reversal refreshes our attention. Thanks, as always, for listening! Author Bio: Jane Zwart teaches at Calvin University and co-edits book review for Plume. Her poems have appeared in Poetry, Ploughshares, The Southern Review, Threepenny Review, and The Nation. Her first collection of poems came out with Orison Books in February 2026. Author Website: janezwart.com Blue Sky: @janezwart.bsky.social Inheritance for Janet Knol, 1922 - 2019 I took the china from occupied Japan just as my uncles took seconds of corn. It wasn't about taste. Or want. When it came to last helpings, the starving children were conveniences, the tureen gratuitous, and if they were about wanting— Janet's divestments—wanting was nothing so forthright as hunger: my uncles eating for two, themselves and their mother; my wishing that teacups edged in corsage were my cup of tea; or, reared to hoard and abhor waste, my grandma's berating herself for an ingrate when each windfall knocked the wind from her, the handsome earner she wed, the sons they made. My grandma didn't dare ask for more, and God knows she didn't dare ask for less. There were reasons, of course. Some, in an expansive mood, she could name. Hunger, her father, and from that summer so hot no one slept, one extravagance— to drive, windows down, for the relief of a breeze. From her, my dad learned to waste nothing. But on what more to ask of life she left no instructions, so my dad cannot say what he wants for his birthday. Instead, he'll tell you he has all he needs, as if need were the whole of deserving, as if all the years' wisdom were getting on with what was. And from him, I learned. Waste nothing; get on with what is. Of the heirlooms, these come in handy. Still, if they were about wanting— Janet's divestments—they were not about choosing, though, in the end, my grandma had enough of pretending that what she had was enough and asked her sons to brush her hair when it didn't need brushing and left the corn on her tray. Hold my hand, she told me, then slipped in and out of knowing I held her hand until she slipped out and out and back into her father's car, its windows were down, and I'll tell you the breeze forgave everything: hunger and waste, want and wanting things to be otherwise, betrayal, demural, even the mezcal— even the time we sipped it from her Noritake when no other glasses were clean. I steal from children who do not hide their tests with a forearm, and I steal from those who do. I steal the soft redoubt an arm makes around a field of tents, their calculable heights, and I steal the stickman roughing it in a lean-to of unknown hypotenuse. Of my sons' wonder, I'm the chief plagiarist. Of their neologisms, the unauthorized scribe. Without asking, I borrow a kid's ardor for tire swings, his grief for lost dogs. I steal what I've mislaid: the art of startlement, the art of artlessness. Rabbit Redux Not spring, but its fickle scout: from the park, the smell of skunk and the skunk of weed; in gardens, exhumed saints and righted gnomes. Robin redux, rabbit redux—season of small resentments, the hassle of jackets, the discrepant grass. Of pent-up revving, of soft-serve soft openings. Season of ephemerals, the old bundled as if for the tundra. Season of warblers, the young rouged in dandelion, riding the oaks bareback.
Episode 137: Collective Effervescence (ENCORE) While we're on AWP hiatus, we're bringing back an encore episode of the Slush Pile. Listen to Episode 137, Collective Effervescence, where we dive into poems by Han VanderHart. If you want to hear more of their work, Han will be reading at the Virginia Festival of the Book the weekend after this episode drops. Info about festival : https://vahumanities.cventevents.com/event/bookfest/summary?session=397b14b2-a8e5-46e5-97ab-05730c0f5466 Don't be jelly, but we're having a blast with three poems from the poet Han VanderHart in this episode! You can join in on the fizzing of our collective effervescence by just tuning in. We find the conversation naturally turning towards John Berger's Ways of Seeing, taking in the pipe as a fairly recent newcomer as a punctuation mark in poetry, and the concept of absolute zero, alongside much, much more. Poetic themes of truth, love, and the power of “No” sit at the center of our conversation. Oh, and Marion deftly keeps Kathy in the conversation when technology unexpectedly steals her voice! (Be sure to check out the painting Truth Coming Out of Her Well, the inspiration for the first poem, an ekphrastic, that we discuss. It's a painting that has inspired some cool tattoo art!) At the table: Marion Wrenn, Kathleen Volk Miller, Jason Schneiderman, Divina Boko, Lisa Zerkle, Dagne Forrest, Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Han VanderHart grew up on a small-scale farm in Virginia, and now lives in North Carolina, under the pines with their long term partner, two children, four cats, two dogs, and a Diva koi Beta fish named Caroline (long I). Their favorite flower is all of them, with the exception of the gerber daisy, which looks fake. Han is the author of Larks (Ohio, 2025) and What Pecan Light (BCP, 2021), and hosts Of Poetry Podcast and co-edits River River Books with Amorak Huey.

We're going deep today, Slushies. Kathy and Tobi school us on the origin of the word “podcast” with its roots in both early Apple technology and agricultural lingo (think broadcast of seeds). In this episode we're broadcasting our appreciation for poems by Erin Evans. We admire Evans' sound work and her ability to craft powerful lines with plain language. In the first poem, the poet's confrontation of medical jargon reminds Marion of Whitman's poem When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer. An encounter between patient and doctor in Evans' poem underscores the difference between learning and knowing that recalls Leslie Jamison's book of essays, The Empathy Exams. The second poem's Japanese title evokes the film Rashomon for Jason, who takes issue with the notion that our writerly imaginations are limited only to the words available in our own language. Schadenfreude, anyone? We're digging the close focus on language in these poems. Marion appreciates that the poem elevates a term she initially passed off as one from pop culture wellness. Meanwhile we conflate our Wabi-sabi with our kintsugi and poet Ross Gay with the poet Ross White (who is the actual originator of the gas station sushi theory). But don't let our mistakes keep you from experiencing Evans' powerful endings. Slushies, if you're attending AWP in March, please stop by and see us at the book fair. We'll be at table 1272. We'd love to see you in person. Thanks, as always, for listening! At the table: Tobi Kassim, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Author Photo: Author Bio: Erin Evans was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was one year old. Her work is greatly influenced by her experience living with chronic illness. She has had poems published in Defunct, Revel, A Mouthful of Salt, and Nimrod-International Journal, which awarded her its Francine Ringold Award for New Writers. Her work was chosen by Kwame Dawes for his American Life in Poetry column. She lives in Vermont with her beautiful and brilliant kids. Exacerbation She says the word quickly looking down at my file then back at the x-ray clipped against the glowing box. My scarred and patchy lungs, and all their flaws on display, almost make me blush. Embarrassed that I couldn't do any better, have been better. I focus instead on the soft ribbons of my ribcage that fan like ghost hands lit up for Halloween. Again, she says it, looking at me now as she sits on the round rolling chair and reaches for her stethoscope. Exacerbation, which I finally looked up after years and years of hearing it, simply means a worsening. But she was taught not to state the obvious, to disguise the truth in the language of textbooks, and lectures, years of learning how best to look right through someone. And I was taught to breathe in when I was told, to push past that pain in my chest that has no name, nor chapter in any book. Komorebi Scott nudges my kayak away from the shore. The yellow plastic scrapes the sand and seashell bottom until it glides to the open water, over deep-green seaweed that waves its version of goodbye. A soft pushing away a departing of one world, only to enter another, so vast there are no names for things: When I die let it be like this. Some languages have words for words we never even thought to speak. In Japanese, for instance, there is a word for the sunlight filtering through the leaves of a tree. Tell me, why isn't there a name for this: The ocean's soft pull, the gentle begging it does, like a child tugging at the tail of your shirt, reminding you it's time to go. Riches As I cradle my morning tea I watch her from the window. Crouched down in the yard, with her hand outstretched. Even from here I see the arthritis knot and bend her fingers from years of knitting intricate sweaters and working late-night shifts at the hospital. The chickens come to her hesitantly, to peck the scratch from her warm hand. She told me once that even when she has nothing to give them they still peck softly at her wedding band. They surround her now, their bobbing and dipping beaks and as they take the seeds she offers, she smooths the long yellow feathers that in the right light turn golden. If I could inherit a single thing from her it would be this patience, this trust that life will come to you even when your body is leaving this world slowly, one cell at a time.

We're so over the snow and ice, Slushies. Join us as we cozy up to three poems from Hilary King. We admire the first poem's warm nostalgia towards old technology and its recollection of a burgeoning appreciation for art. Sam notes how well the poem's title prepares the reader for the poem that follows. The pairing of the projection of art and the projection of memory intrigues Jason. The setting in an art history class sends Sam to the Julia Roberts' movie Mona Lisa Smile, also set in 1953. Whether mothers or daughters, we consider how much we can know about another person's interior life. Kathy puts on her bad cop hat, but in the nicest way possible. We're thinking about the importance of sharply observed details and how they can focus a poem from the general to the specific. In the final poem we'll clarify whether we're talking about drunk aunts or drunk ants and why either would be preferable to a drunk uncle. And Dagne questions what duties an epigraph can or should perform. Slushies, if you're attending AWP in March, please stop by and see us at the book fair. We'll be at table 1272. We'd love to see you in person. Thanks, as always, for listening! At the table: Dagne Forrest, Tobi Kassim, Samantha Neugebauer, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (sound engineer) Author Bio: Originally from the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, Hilary King is a poet now living in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Her poems have appeared in Ploughshares, Salamander, The Louisville Review, Fourth River, Common Ground Review, and other publications. She was the 2023 winner of the Rose Warner Prize from Freshwater Review and the second place winner of the 2025 Common Ground Review Annual Poetry Prize. She serves as an editor for DMQ Review, and her book of poems Stitched on Me was published by Riot in Your Throat Press in 2024. Author Website: www.hilarykingwriting.com Instagram: @hilaryseessomething Facebook: Hilary Rogers King Bluesky: @hilary299.bsky.social My Mother's Scholarship Job, 1953 In the ivied dark, she rushes to keep up. The professor barks out facts, theories, slows only for art he likes, or to hiss when she fumbles a slide, sending a Renoir sideways, her face hot in the yellow projector light, rows of girls in store-bought clothes turning to stare at her. After she was accepted, her mother began sewing, made her six versions of the same dress, full-skirted, round necked, good as any that ever dressed a mannequin. She does fumble the slides. She hasn't mastered this machine, dazed by how it transforms a square into the magnificent. Monet's shimmering train station, Van Gogh's glowing garden at Arles. She never tells her mother she wears dungarees for the class she takes over and over again, the machine oily, trapping her in the dark, in the back, never up front, her pencil poised like a fork for a feast. Nest She turned thirteen and shut her door on us. We let her, let her make a freedom of those four walls. What she did, watched, heard, learned, hid– we had only outlines, fear and hope filled in the rest. Mornings she stepped over the threshold, shouldered her childhood, cycled towards the gristmill. Afternoons she returned, spent, recovered only with the door closed. Gone just yesterday, grown enough to go, I leave her door open, let it swing like memory. How to Be Peonies from Trader Joe's Enter the house in a shroud. Allow the presence of water. Exist as a fist. When no one is looking, peep out one pink petal. That night, alone again, unfurl another. Watch them walk past the golden pollen you fed the table. Get drunk on your own beauty, open your face wide as a drunk aunt's smile. One day later, die spectacularly, fabulously your magenta remains scattered like broken glass.

She served on the Board of the Historical Novel Society North America Conference from 2015-2025. She has mentored other writers in AWP's Writer-to-Writer Mentorship Program since 2020. She's an avid opera fan and enjoys gardening, art films, and, of course, great fiction. She lives in Portland, Oregon. In my book review, I stated Gun Girl and the Tall Guy is a historical fiction by Maryka Biaggio. It is based on a true story of a crime duo, Celia and Ed Cooney, in 1920s Brooklyn. And quite frankly, I loved everything about this book! The characters are vivid. I could see the Brooklyn from 100 years ago. And the story is amazing. Celia grew up in a tough environment. She escapes her family and marries Ed, a young man just home from the war. He is kind, gentle, and loves her completely. But, like most young couples, they are broke. When she learns she is pregnant, she doesn't want to raise her child with nothing. So, they hatch a plan to rob a store - just to get enough to start them on their way. But the thrill and the fame, as well as an ever-increasing need for more things, keeps them in the game long after it makes sense. Although it makes no sense, I was routing for Celia and Ed to evade the police! Maryka did a great job getting me to pull for the bad guy rather than the Brooklyn police, which is what started happening as the pair became more infamous. I won't spoil it for you - it's a must read.

Episode Description: Welcome, warriors, to the final episode of the year! In this reflective, heart-centered conversation, we pause to honor everything this year asked of us, explore the importance of choosing ourselves, and set intentions for the year ahead, not as a “new year, new you” exercise, but as an invitation to care for and prioritize ourselves with compassion. We dive into: The power of choosing yourself as a practice, with intention Why resting, slowing down, and doing less is revolutionary for women How perfectionism, “prove-it-again” bias, & societal expectations shape our lives Reflections on community, support, and the collective wisdom of the Advancing Women Podcast Along the way, we revisit some of the year's most resonant AWP episodes: Permission to Pause: Can We Stop Doing and Just Be for a Minute?: Exploring why productivity has become a stand-in for worth and why rest is essential. Go Little: Comfort, Joy, and the Art of Doing Less: Redefining success and learning to embrace the meaningfulness of “small” actions and joy. There Is a Crack in Everything: That's How the Light Gets In: Inspired by Leonard Cohen's lyric and Kintsugi, exploring perfectionism, resilience, and honoring the cracks in our lives. This episode is a reminder that choosing yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary. It's about creating space, breathing room, and radical permission to prioritize your needs and growth. Thank you for walking this journey with me, for being part of our warrior community, and for showing up for yourself and each other. Episode Highlights / Key Takeaways: Choosing yourself is a skill or personality trait. It's a practice that comes from small, intentional actions. Reflection and pausing are just as valuable as action and productivity. The cracks in our lives aren't failures; they are opportunities for growth, wisdom, and light. Community matters: you are not alone in navigating all the things… Intentions are powerful even if resolutions aren't perfectly kept; the act of aiming toward growth is what matters. Let's Reflect: Take a moment to journal or reflect: What does “choosing yourself” look like for you right now? Where in your life can you create more space, permission, or breathing room? How can you step into the new year with intention, hope, and self-compassion?

Taken and bled for one purpose, she holds on, following the spark and whispers of hope...Ruth's life is no longer her own, memories becoming as intangible as smoke, her fingers never able to grasp what had been. That is, until the elixir. The clock has turned back, but a flashing specter remains...Jarum was determined to succeed, founding Lazarus to find the key to immortality no matter the consequences. With ruthless determination, he was on the cusp of infamy until the lights.

In this episode, Jason responds to two powerful listener messages. First, a PM asks: How do you lead when you're new to a project and the entire team knows more than you do? Jason shares the exact strategy he would use to build trust, gain clarity, and define his role starting with humility and collaboration. Second, a reflection from a $300M industrial project in the Amazon reveals something important: even with advanced systems like BIM, AWP, and Last Planner in place, production suffers when foremen and supervisors lack core skills. Through Kaizen cycles, the team discovered gaps in pre-task planning, tool management, drawing reading, and 3D model usage and solved it with targeted training. Jason connects this insight to real examples like High Street and P1 Group's Forge training facility, emphasizing that skilled people, not just systems make the difference. A powerful reminder that builders need both the plan and the preparation. If you're new to a team or trying to level up field performance, this one's for you.
