It's a bit of an understatement to say that Canisia Lubrin has a way with words. Last year, she took home the Carol Shields Prize for her debut novel, Code Noir. Now she's back with a long-form poem called The World After Rain. The poem is an epic tribute to her mother and the passing of time, and it poured out of Canisia over the span of 16 hours. This week, Canisia joins Mattea Roach to talk about why she never intended to publish the poem … and why she felt she had no choice. Check out our interview with 2025 Giller Prize winner Souvankham Thammavongsa:Can your nail tech throw a mean right hook?

Hello to you listening in Shallotte, North Carolina!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The Witch of Whidbey has been walking in the autumn-drenched fields and forests, some leaves not yet ready to let go of their branches, scattered clouds, hints of rain on the horizon, wood fires holding at bay the Pacific Northwest chill, and, (as if we could ever forget) the fast-approaching Holidazed nipping at our heels.Gazing at the landscape brought to mind two lines from the poem, Three in Transition, by David Ignatow. [American poet, author, editor] wrote:“I wish I understood the beauty in leaves falling.To whom are we beautiful as we go?”As we open the door to this ThankfulGiving Season, let's step in, pause, look deeply at friends, loved ones, and colleagues gathered together, and in that moment reflect on their beauty as they come and go in our lives.Story Prompt: What do you see in them? What might they see in you? Write that story. Tell it out loud!Click HERE to read an analysis of Three in Transition by David IgnatowYou're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

This episode opens "Someday I'll Love" poems through the vivid imagery of a young poet's connection with their grandmother, remembering in love as memory begins to slip. Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake is an Indigenous poet from the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Oklahoma. Winner of the 2024 Maureen Egen Writers Exchange Award for poetry and the recipient of the 2023 Indigenous Nations Poets fellowship, they live in St. Louis. Portrait by Erin Lewis Photography The poem was featured on Poem-a-Day and can be found at the Academy of American Poets. See here for the poem online. (https://poets.org/poem/someday-ill-love) Someday I'll Love— Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake —after Frank O'Hara like I dreamt of the lamb—slaughtered, forgotten, lying on porcelain tile, on crimson-filled grout— and woke up thinking of my grandmother, of her Betty Boop hands that held marbled stone, held dough-balled flour, held the first strands of my hair floating atop the river— like winter apples, the ones that hang outside my living room window and survive first snowfall to feed the neighborhood crows, how they fall beneath my boots, staining my rubber soles with epigraphs of rot, epigraphs of fors, of dears, of holding on till frost's end. Someday I will see long-forgotten fingerprints on the inside of my eyelids as I go to sleep, as I close my eyes for silence on a Wednesday, mourning—seeking—creases and smile lines, porch lights and swing sets, summer nights of lightning bugs and Johnny Cash. I think it will be a Tuesday, or maybe someday is yesterday, is two months from now, is going to be a day when I forget what I'm supposed to be remembering. For now, I will paint my nails cradle, adorn my skin in cloth that doesn't choke, tell my bones that they are each a lamb remembered. Copyright © 2024 by Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake.

So the 2025 racing is done and dusted and one of the more unusual seasons in GP history is now consigned to the history books. It was undoubtedly the year of Marc Marquez (sorry Borrie) but there are more questions than answers heading into 2026 and the lads break down not only what has been but what might be to come next year. That's the serious stuff (or as close as it gets around these parts) but there's also the usual favourites like Borrie's Poem, The Grid Girl Critique, What Should Simon Do and Observations. It's all the madness you'd expect from the Greatest Motorcycling Podcast in the Universe and we're giving it away for free so do us and yourself a favour and press play.

And so the penultimate round of the 2025 season is done and dusted (sorry Borrie) and there was plenty to keep fans interested. Much of it, however, was not visible to the naked eye so it's a good thing our three intrepid analysts are here to bring you all the stuff you missed including Borrie's Poem, We Told You so (it's a good one this week) and the Simone Flatterson Manboob Care and Grid Girl Critique. If you've been here before you'll appreciate the madness but first time visitors might find things a little...confronting. But stick with it because it's worth it (and if you put your hand in your pocket and sign up for the Patreon Pit Crew you'll get bonus content as well). So hit play, sit back and ponder what you might have done differently in life while we take care of the entertainment.

In this episode, Maggie writes… “There is power in naming, as today's poem reminds us. Once you've seen the violence tucked inside the place name Lynchburg, barely hidden at all—hidden in plain sight—I don't think you'll be able to see or say the word the same way again.
