He worked as an assistant editor for volumes 392 and 394 of the Dictionary of Literary Biography and has published in a number of venues both online and in print. Zainab Omaki is likewise a Nonfiction Assistant Editor at the magazine and has writings in Callaloo, The Rumpus, LA Review and elsewhere. Her novel-in-progress has funding both abroad and from the Nebraska Arts Council. Like John, she's a PhD candidate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Prairie Schooner has a long legacy, stretching back to 1928, making it arguably the country's longest continuous literary magazine. In this episode, the focus is on essays from two recent issues, beginning with “Summer Blues” by Hantian Zhang. For anyone who ever read William Gass's medication, On Being Blue, this will serve as an interesting sequel. The theme or mood is signaled by the Portuguese word “saudale,” a desire for something absent, for the essay is set in Lisbon. In “Holden Caulfield Builds a House” by Andrew Erkkila, the setting jumps to Jersey City and the renovation of a house whose previous owner was a Viet Nam vet who painted the names of fallen colleagues in blood and excrement. Suffice to say, it's a monumental tasks that nearly undoes the couple funding the upgrade. In “On grief, sex, and kidneys,” Afton Montgomery explores surgery's impact on one's psyche and even more identity. Finally, in “On the Move, or Looking to Settle Down,” Maya Marshall makes a road trip as an African-American woman traveling the South, knowing that danger can always lurk and yet mustn't become an excuse for limiting oneself. Still, it's not easy when, for instance, the sight of a dead deer makes her identify with it due to sharing a common color and the risks inherent in motion.

In this week's episode, I am speaking with poet, extraordinaire, Diamond Forde. Our conversation centers around how poetry saves us. And that is not hyperbole. How poetry brings us back to our humanness. We also talk about this now moment as we bear witness to the atrocities against P@lestin!ans. How we are being pulled to publicly grieve, something that is unfamiliar to us. How do we remember to be human to each other again? How can we provide care? Listen in as Diamond reminds us: You don't have to hold grief on your own. Listen to be in community with us. Let us steep ourselves in poetry and hold each other in grief. I'm inviting you to join me in Create Against Destruction, a 6-week container for women / femmes / nonbinary writers of color to come together in community and process and integrate and move through the complexities of our human experience.   In those 6 weeks we'll sit with fear, anxiety, grief, joy, hope, and empowerment. Sometimes separately, sometimes together, sometimes all at once. This is an invitation to gather together in support and in witness. This is a place for co-creating, co-writing, and care for each other. To build something in the face of destruction. To insist that we are here, that we exist, that we matter, and what we have to say matters. To witness and to be seen. To be held. We start next Thursday, Nov 9th because time is of the essence. It might not feel like we're doing anything to make change when we are writing or caring for ourselves, but I contest this belief. Our individual actions, our individual energy adds and influences the collective, even if we can't see it. HOW you are BE-ing matters. It always has. Link in bio. About Diamond Forde: Diamond Forde is a Black poet and the author of Mother Body (Saturnalia Books, 2021), winner of the 2019 Saturnalia Poetry Prize. The recipient of awards and fellowships from the Furious Flower Poetry Center, the College Language Association, Great River Review, Callaloo, and Tin House, she lives in Asheville, North Carolina.

Comedian and writer Sarah Cooper rose to fame in the most modern of ways: through TikTok! Her viral videos, lip-syncing Donald Trump's speeches during the pandemic, eventually landed her a Netflix show (Sarah Cooper: Everything Is Fine), and she just released a memoir called Foolish.  Before Sarah could pay the bills with comedy, she worked at Google, where employees are fed three incredibly delicious (free!) meals a day. Host Rachel Belle scored a rare, coveted interview with the director of Google's food program, and we'll take you behind the scenes of their 400 worldwide cafes.  Sarah is a Jamaican ... who doesn't like Jamaican food! But what she does love is Girl Dinner, a viral TikTok trend that assigned a name to something we've all done: creating a casual meal-for-one out of the tastiest bits and bobs you can find in your fridge.

Hi guys! Join us as we discuss two very significant women whose stories were almost lost to time--Pokou of the Baoule of Ivory Coast and Sarraounia of the Azna of Niger.

"I really admire how James Baldwin always talks about jazz as a kind of model for his writing style. But music has certainly had a profound influence on the way I see the world, especially in terms of the social world. One of the big problems we have in all sorts of different places around the world is the question of how to coordinate difference. All sorts of people have different modes of living, different cultural rhythms, and different ideas about the future. Jazz is brilliant at a lot of things, but it notably brings together different people and allows them to retain their own sense of time and rhythm while playing together. It's a really profound model of social coordination. Now, of course, it says something particularly pressing about the United States, but I think as a model for how differences go together, jazz is perhaps unparalleled."Bruce Evan Barnhart is an associate professor of American literature and culture at the University of Oslo and co-director of the project Literature, Rights, and Imagined Communities.

"It's hard to make generalizations about the novel as a form because there are so many different iterations of novel, there are so many great novels. But in general, especially when thinking about the early 20th century, the novel has a certain kind of idea of progressive development built into it. When you read a novel, it's as if you can feel that sharp edge of the end of the novel mentally. You know there's an ending coming, and you don't know exactly what the ending is going to be, but you know that it's going to link everything up and make it all make sense. It trains you to lean toward the future in a certain way. You read an individual event, but you're subconsciously storing it away, knowing that it will be important later. You train yourself while reading a novel to take individual events and link them all to future redemption. But jazz doesn't do that. It has a certain repetition in it. When something interesting happens in the moment, it is enjoyed for itself. It's not necessarily going to be picked up later or incorporated into an overall form. It is just a contingent event that has its own density and beauty to it in the moment."Bruce Evan Barnhart is an associate professor of American literature and culture at the University of Oslo and co-director of the project Literature, Rights, and Imagined Communities.

Because it shows a couple of engagements with jazz, and there's a certain point in which the protagonist of Quicksand dances to music in a cabaret, and it's described as 'jungle music'. So we would think of Duke Ellington's Jungle Music Band of the 1920s, and we would also notice the kind of reactionary, racial ideas that go with labeling something as from the jungle. And so there's a way in which jazz is trying to be America's responding to jazz by containing it, thinking of it as something kind of primitive. But this is something that's codified or themetized in Nella Larsen's novel.The protagonist goes in here, and one, she's like the music drives her with a certain kind of intensity, something like ecstasy that's really unparalleled throughout the rest of the novel. And so it's exciting, and it moves her in a certain way, but she knows that if she becomes part of this 'jungle music', she'll be figured as a certain kind of woman.

The amount of information that they're processing—harmonic, melodic, rhythmic information all on the spot—and the act of not only taking it all in and figuring out where they fit in it, but also responding to it and creating something with a certain form and meaningfulness to it is, I think, one of the most impressive things that I've known any human being to do.And that's worth thinking about in terms of human capacities.

SourceThis episode includes a reading of her poem, "Thank God I Can't Drive,"  featured in our 2021/23 Get Lit Anthology."Thank God I Can't Drive"My brain is trying so hard to outrun this. It is doing more work than the lie.I could go to jail for anything. I look like that kind of girl. I only speak one language. I amof prestige but can't really prove it. Not if my hands are tied. Not if my smartphone isseized. Not if you can't google me. Without an archive of human bragging rights, I'm[   ] nobody, an empty bag, two-toned luggage. I'm not trying to be sanctimonious,I just found out that I'm afraid to die, like, there goes years of posturing about, beating itlike I own it, taking it to the bathroom with the tampons—like, look at me, I am so agentand with all this agency I can just deploy death at any time. The truth isthat I'm already on the clock, I'm just a few notches down on the “black-girl-with-badmouth” list, the street lights go out and I'm just at the mercy of my own bravery andtheir punts of powerlessness, their “who the hell do you think you are's?”Support the show

We welcome dynamic pianist/composer Stewart Goodyear back to Toledo to perform his own music: the Caribbean-inspired dance suite for piano and orchestra, Callaloo. Not only do we hear what went into the creation of this saucy dish, we get to know Stewart himself through personal stories and shared insights. We also talk about two other "dance" works on the program: John Adams' The Chairman Dances, and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances. And in keeping with tradition, we have a trivia-filled quiz of the day, Guess the Rock. Is it Sergei Rachmaninoff (AKA "Rach"), Dwayne Johnson (AKA "The Rock"), or Elvis (AKA "The King of Rock...")? Listen in and find out!
