“PBR was established here in 1844, and I got here in 1843, so …” “The spoons? Yeah, I was like, ‘Where is this going to go?’” Beer: Pabst Blue Ribbon (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) Poems: Sun in Days by Meghan O’Rourke Girl Crushes: Judge Jill Karofsky (Wisconsin); Ashley Monroe (@brewedblackgirl on Insta); and Fiona Apple This week, we’ve got a long one but we promise it’s a good one. As we celebrate a whole year (!!!) of No Rhyme or Refill, we decide to switch things up. Alyx talks about her favorite trash beer (aka the best beer) — PBR — and Erica talks about Sun in Days by Meghan O’Rourke. Both Alyx and Erica own the book, but Erica 100 percent forgot that she was with Alyx when Alyx bought the book. What are you gonna do? The 26th episode stays shallow with a light beer, and goes deep in a discussion about autoimmune disease, hopelessness, and a body’s betrayal. Special thanks to our special guest, Sam Roberts, who loves PBR and reading poetry out loud when he thinks Alyx is in the room. Cheers!

Production and Sound Design by Kevin Seaman The Night Where You No Longer Liveby Meghan O'Rourke Was it like lifting a veilAnd was the grass treacherous, the green grass Did you think of your own mother Was it like a virusDid the software flicker And was this the beginningWas it like that Was there gas station food and was it a long trip  And is there sun thereor dronesor punishmentor growth  Was it a blackout And did you still create meAnd what was I like on the first day of my life  Were we two from the startAnd was our time an entranceor an ending  Did we stand in the heated roomDid we look at the painting Did the snow appear coldWere our feet red with it, with the wet snow And then what were our namesDid you love me or did I misunderstand Is it terrible  Do you intend to come back Do you hear the world’s keening Will you stay the night

This past summer Meghan O'Rourke was appointed editor of The Yale Review. In an award citation the Whiting Foundation praised her “far-reaching and ambitious” work, and noted that her “voice stands out for its power and originality.” She is the author of the memoir The Long Goodbye (2011) and the poetry collections Once (2011), Halflife (2007), and Sun In Days (2017), which The New York Times named one of the 10 Best Poetry Books of the year. Her essays and poems have appeared in magazines such as The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and Poetry. She has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Radcliffe Fellowship, a Whiting Award, a Lannan fellowship, two Pushcart Prizes, the May Sarton Poetry Prize, the Union League Prize from the Poetry Foundation, and a Front Page Award for her cultural criticism. She has taught at New York University, Princeton, and The New School, and is currently completing a book about chronic illness. I met with Meghan in her new, bare-walled office in New Haven. It was her very first day on the job, working in the office that is. Among other things we talked about the history of The Yale Review, bridging disciplines, current events, criticism, the Paris Review in its heyday, magazines as spawning grounds for books, re-designs; private experiences with print and the pleasures of being immersed in reading; book designer Chip Kidd; Pentagram; book collecting, broadsides, and much more.

We talk about what it means to resist categorical thinking and the often false narratives we construct about our own lives. From Annette’s participation in a bar association panel as a non-lawyer, to Sarah’s grappling with loss of identity, there is a need to rewrite the story we want our lives to tell, which means embracing the uncertainty of the creative process. We discuss how contemplative silence allows us to shed other people's expectations and to dismantle linear narratives all too common in the hyper-rational legal world. Resources: Megan O'Grady's article "Is the Age of the Artistic Recluse Over?" from the NYTimes Magazine can be found here. Meghan O'Rourke's article "Lessons in Stillness From One of the Quietest Places on Earth" also from the NYTimes Magazine can be found here. More from Elizabeth Gilbert on passion vs. curiosity can be found here. On the topic of living creatively, Julia Cameron writes in The Artist's Way that "we are looking not to grand strokes of change - although they may come - but instead to the act of creatively husbanding all that is in the present: this job, this house, this relationship."

With the release of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie in theaters this week, wandering minds are drifting back towards the world of E.L. James’ blockbuster erotic novel. In this episode of the Audio Book Club, previously published around the height of Fifty Shades mania, Slate culture editor Dan Kois, Slate culture critic Meghan O’Rourke, and Slate DoubleX founder Hanna Rosin debate the merits of the book. O’Rourke describes it as maybe the worst book she’s read in her life, but still has quite a bit to say about the book’s issues of class. Rosin expanded on her ideas from her March 2012 piece about the book’s sexual politics and admitted that a second read had led her to better understand why every woman she knew was reading and loving the book. Kois attempted to perform Christian Grey’s “gray gaze” on the radio. Hear their two-year-old predictions of what the film, now in theaters, might look like.  Note: This episode contains spoilers.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
