A portrait of the artist at the brink of self-actualization, Salad Days is a vulnerable and evocative study of identity. Go get Laura Theobald's book right now. https://shop.maudlinhouse.net/#salad-days “Something about Salad Days reminds me of Emily Dickinson—if Emily were hornier and funnier. The poems have the kind of specificity that allows them to feel universal, like some beautiful, demented collective dream. Laura Theobald really is one of the best poets we have.” – Juliet Escoria, author of Juliet the Maniac and Black Cloud “I don't usually like poetry. 98% of poetry is overwrought and academic and boring. But Laura Theobald is mad (like Sylvia Plath mad, not the other kind) which makes her poetry different, in the way a mad woman's voice is always a little different. In a way I like. In a way that intrigues me. Listen to her.” – Elizabeth Ellen, author of Person/a and Her Lesser Work

In this episode I interview author/poet Juliet Escoria. We talk about her experience with traditional publishing, mental health treatments in the 90's versus today, and what inspired her to write her new book Juliet the Maniac. Music in this episode is by Michael Kilcullen. 

A reading from Juliet The Maniac by Juliet Escoria. Ambitious, talented fourteen-year-old honors student Juliet is poised for success at her Southern California high school. However, she soon finds herself on an increasingly frightening spiral of drug use, self-harm, and mental illness that lands her in a remote therapeutic boarding school, where she must ultimately find the inner strength to survive. https://www.mhpbooks.com/books/juliet-the-maniac/

We talk to Juliet Escoria about her new book Juliet the Maniac (on Melville House), the story of a teenager with some very severe mental health problems who makes all kinds of sex and drugs-related mistakes and winds up in therapy, which doesn't exactly work. It's kind of something everyone involved in the making and probably listening-to of this show can relate to, so we're into it. Music by Foie Gras and Sunn 0))) Support our Patreon for bonus episodes

Luckily for Eric and my fool self, Juliet Escoria happened to be in town to do a couple of readings and we were able to hang out/sit down/tell jokes/rap with her. Her book BLACK CLOUD came out earlier this year from Civil Coping Mechanisms, and it is a monster. We talked about the process of writing a book to getting it into meaty paws and recovery and teaching and exposed Eric's lack of a goth past.

Juliet Escoria is the guest. Her new story collection, Black Cloud, is now available from Civil Coping Mechanisms.   Adam Wilson says "Juliet Escoria is like a gutter-punk Grace Paley." And Benjamin Samuel, co-editor of Electric Literature, says "Reading the stories in Black Cloud is like getting punched in the throat; Juliet Escoria leaves you speechless. Her honesty teaches us that beauty can be found in violence, truth in pain, and life where we've always been afraid to look." Monologue: travel, American Airlines, family, fatigue, weddings.
