Interviews

At AWP Portland, I was able to sit down with Janna Marlies Maron of Under the Gum Tree Magazine to have an honest discussion about the craft of essay writing, the merits of the short form, and when it's ok to not take advice from that hot shot magazine editor.

In the episode we talk about:

  • Grief journals and turning them into essays

  • Needing a place to figure out what an experience means

  • Giving readers the benefit of the doubt, and essays that are a slow burn

  • The short form of flash and “micro” writing

  • Loss and learning to love things without consuming or owning them

  • Using care in the things we create vs. self-imposed deadlines or goals

  • Kelly’s piece “Winter Soliloquy” in Hippocampus

  • Connect with Kelly on Twitter @WhaleLetters

I was honored to be featured by the Lesley University Creative Writing Alumni Association, Cambridge Commons Writers, for Women's History Month last year.
