Give a listen to Episode 11: The Performance of Existing in a Place with our guest, the lovely, Tatiana Ryckman. We discuss drive-bys, Salinger, writing on the road, and are taken from the Ukraine across the country and behind the gates of Yaddo. In What’s On My Desk this week, we discuss the chapbook Bestiary of Gall by Emilia Phillips. So crack open a can, take the pot off the stove, drive home or away and enjoy!

She is the editor of The Austin Review, was an artist in residence at Yaddo, and her work has been published with Keyhole Press, Tin House, theNewerYork, The Doctor T.J.
