Here we are with a good friend of mine who I met when I took a film summer class in California as part of a humanities core requirement for my Tulane diploma. I had the pleasure of meeting a great friend Kristen Case. She studied film at Cal Lutheran and minored in dance and now is working as a freelancer in the film business doing many different gigs. She is very creative, driven, motivated, and passionate about the film industry. We will get to learn all about her day-to-day and what it is like working as a freelancer covering those crazy 5 AM shifts and sometimes also getting those good gigs too. Kristen will wrap up giving her points on maintaining a positive attitude. Finally, Kristen will wrap up the episode sharing her advice.
Colin Dekeersgieter sits down with Kristen Case to talk about her work “On Certainty” in the Spring/Summer 2021 issue. They discuss the ethics of the “you” in writing and the limits of our knowledge of an other, precision in language, the home's connection to writing, and more! Enjoy.

Rajan Datar and guests explore the life and legacy of the American thinker Henry David Thoreau and his famous work 'Walden', which describes the young writer's experiment in living simply at Walden Pond in Massachusetts, for two years, two months and two days in the 1840s. A landmark text in American literature, ‘Walden' has been enjoyed by generations for its insights into work and leisure, nature, solitude, society, the good life and more. Rajan and guests discuss this book and another of Thoreau's famous works – the essay known as ‘Civil Disobedience', read by some of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King. They also reflect on the legacy of Thoreau's work around the world today, in an age in which his themes – from protesting injustice to living the simple life – continue to resonate with readers. With expert guests Laura Dassow Walls, Kristen Case, John Kaag and Yoshiaki Furui. Produced by Alice Bloch. Photo: Henry David Thoreau (Universal History Archive/Getty Images)
Kelly and I are joined by Kristen Case and Stephen Grandchamp of the New Commons Project to talk about what the project is. You’ve heard me talk about the New Commons before, and I was really excited to have the two of them on the show to discuss all the awesome things they’ve been doing. […]
Kristen Case from University of Maine, Farmington, delivers a talk titled “Thoreau's Seasonal Music: Nostalgia and the Kalendar.” This talk was included in the session titled “Thoreau the Poet-Naturalist.” Part of “West of Walden: Thoreau in the 21st Century,” a conference held at The Huntington April 7–8, 2017.
Emily Dickinson is no ordinary poet. Her intelligent and profound work inspires a fierce attachment in those who love it. I know this first-hand. My wife began reading Dickinson soon after we first met and took to the poems so deeply that, a little over a decade later, she published a book about Dickinson’s spiritual life. What that meant for me–in addition to admiring her writing–was that for over a decade Dickinson was more or less a member of our household, readily quoted by my wife on almost any occasion. “If your Nerve, deny you,” she might advise me as I tried to parallel park, “Go above your Nerve.” Or, on a winter morning, she might suddenly reflect on the “polar privacy of a soul admitted to itself.” A number of times I had to remind her that not all of us speak Dickinson. And yet, even if I don’t speak Dickinson, I, too, admire the poet’s work, as well as the spiritual struggles she undertook. So I was delighted to come across Kristen Case’s new book, Abdication: Emily Dickinson’s Failures of Self (Essay Press, 2015), which takes up many of Dickinson’s great themes. What does it mean to be a self? And how can one fail or lose oneself? How does one approach or perhaps even dissolve before God or infinity or finitude? Why do our absences, longings, and emptiness sometimes define us more than what’s actually there, before us, as us? These are dense and weighty questions, and Case takes up with a keen intelligence and deft attention to language, her own and Dickinson’s. Case is, indeed, a writer who speaks Dickinson and a writer worth hearing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
