This week The Doulas do a big health priorities check in and discuss how they are doing during covid. Our Book Club Book has also been chosen, The Birth Yard by Mallory Tater. The discussion will be held on November 17, so let us know if you are reading along and want to join the discussion. ThePragmaticDoulas@gmail.com
All-star guest and friend Mallory Tater is back to discuss the glory of matrimony and how she and poet-husband Curtis Leblanc pulled off the most spectacularly woke engagement and wedding probably ever on earth. We discuss and dissect traditions such as: elaborate surprise engagements, the father giving away the bride (like a dang mule for trade), the garter toss (gag me), white dresses, and the shocking and sexually violent significance of cutting the cake. (Spoiler alert: the knife = the penis.) Also featured: Mica digresses about the Sweet 16 she never had and roasts Margaret Atwood. Cool!
Mallory Tater's debut novel, The Birth Yard, has just been contracted by Harper Collins and she's here to answer the question of HOW DO YOU DO THAT? She's also here to remind us that just because The Handmaid's Tale was a big deal, doesn't mean that feminist dystopia (and other genres related to #MeToo) have "had their moment." Also included: why you shouldn't listen to publishers who tell you to "put your novel in a drawer" because ahem THEY ARE WRONG.
Way back in November Jen and Dina interviewed part of the amazing team behind Rahila's Ghost Press, a new chapbook press that will knock your stockings off. And we sure did have a fun time, talked about a lot of poetry and yes, there were emotions. Now the episode is here for your listening pleasure, with publisher Mallory Tater, managing editor Curtis LeBlanc, editors Adèle Barclay and Shaun Robinson, and two of the first poets publisher by the press, Megan Fennya Jones (Normal Women) and Jake Byrne (The Tide). Buy all the RG chapbooks at rahilasghostpress.com.
Mallory Tater and Curtis LeBlanc, founders of the new chapbook press Rahila's Ghost Press tell us about their first crop of books launching November 22. Curtis also reads poems from his own books while Mallory shares some poems from her upcoming This Will Be Good. Kevin Spenst and Pamela Bentley co-hosting.
