C.S. Giscombe—known to his friends as Cecil--talks with long-time friend Roxi Power about the second half of his newest poetry book, Negro Mountain) (University of Chicago Press) which was recommended by a New York Times critic as one of the 5 best poetry books of 2023.   In the second part of our interview, Giscombe dives deep into the book's central concepts, such as “negro luck” and the “the long story of evil” through totemic figures that reappear in dreams and landscapes, including wolves and jaguars. Drawing on stories and ideas from Ed Roberson (“the idea of image and the idea of capture”), we explore ways to write about “what's there…but not seen,” including the namesake for the real Negro Mountain in Pennsylvania: an 18th c. African-American man named Nemesis, whom Giscombe calls “the long shadow on the mountain.”  The book collages dreams, history, and multiple forms of address—"speeches, elocution, and theatrical masks”—to explore monstrous cultural projections.  C.S. Giscombe teaches at the University of California's Berkeley campus, where he is the Robert Hass Chair in English.  His prose and poetry books include Negro Mountain, Prairie Style, Ohio Railroads (“a long poem in the form of an essay”), Similarly (selected poetry and new work), Border Town, etc. In progress are Railroad Sense and Medicine Book.  He is a long-distance cyclist.

Crain's residential real estate reporter Dennis Rodkin talks with host Amy Guth about top stories from the local housing market, including a historic Prairie-style kindergarten-turned-home for sale in Brookfield.Plus: Chicago's donor class opens its pockets for Harris; Medline exploring IPO, with possible valuation of $50 billion; Cboe to offer traders another way to hedge S&P 500 swings; and Intersect Illinois hires physicist to recruit quantum companies.

C.S. Giscombe talks about the first half of his newest poetry book, Negro Mountain (University of Chicago Press) which was recommended by a New York Times critic as one of the 5 best poetry books of 2023. C. S. Giscombe teaches at the University of California's Berkeley campus, where he is the Robert Hass Chair in English.  His prose and poetry books include Negro Mountain, Prairie Style, Ohio Railroads (“a long poem in the form of an essay”), Similarly (selected poetry and new work), Border Towns, etc.  In progress are Railroad Sense and Medicine Book.  He is a long-distance cyclist. In Negro Mountain, Giscombe writes about a ridge straddling the Mason-Dixon line in Pennsylvania and Maryland called Negro Mountain. Named after "Nemesis", a man in the 1750s who took a bullet from a Native American man that was intended for a white man, Negro Mountain is provides fertile grounds for exploring complex relationships between people, wildlife--especially wolves--and location. The book's speaker and characters from his series of 7 Dreams that open the book are shape shifters, moving fluidly between an educated "country doctor" and monstrous personas--including werewolves and jaguars--embodying hybridity and cultural projections. For over 50 years, Giscombe has written eloquently about borders, geography, and maps, beginning with Giscome Road. His newest book is a tour de force deserving a two-part interview. C.S. (known to his friends as Cecil) talks with his longtime friend from their Cornell University days, Roxi Power, about the granular details of the first part of his book as well as the grander sweep of his career and poetic preoccupations. You can hear Cecil read from Negro Mountain during his Hive Live! reading with Nancy Miller Gomez at Bookshop Santa Cruz June 9, 7pm.

T.C. Boyle has written 19 novels and hundreds of short stories, and is a winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award. In the Fall issue of Ojai Quarterly, Kit Stolz reviewed his latest, "Blue Skies," the comically dystopian misadventures of a family on the brink of catastrophes, both environmental and personal. Boyle covers a wide range of topics on the podcast, including growing up in impoverished circumstances, his musical career, the way his characters live on and off the page, doing the deep research that goes into his work, especially "Blue Skies," and how he came to the Ojai-Santa Barbara area. He also talked about living in Frank Lloyd Wright's final "Prairie Style" house, insect cuisine, and a Filipino billionaire's (fictional) scheme to cool down the planet with sulphur dioxide. And a ghost. We did not talk about Mars travel, tire tread wear or the Battle of Marathon. Check out more on T.C. Boyle on his website at tcboyle.com or his comically inspired twitter (X?) account at @tcboyle.

This week,  Stauney brings us up to speed on Marion Mahony Griffin, one of the first female licensed architects in the whole world, and a major pioneer of the prairie school architectural style. She also carried a lifelong grudge against the famous Frank Lloyd Wright after working with him closely for over 15 years. Not only did he steal some of her drawings without attributing her, but he also disparaged the work of her and her later husband and business partner, and continued to take sole credit for the prairie style despite its many contributors. We discuss her childhood, work with the aforementioned Wright, and her later partnership, marriage and fame with her husband Walter Burley Griffin as they designed the capital and many neighborhoods in Australia.Episodes to check out after this one: Beatrice Ward, Hilma Af Klint Want to check out some of our favorite books?
