I have a special episode for you that I thought was lost. Sometimes when I record podcast episodes, audio files can get corrupted or go missing. This is one of those situations. But luckily, I was able to recover it.
Today, I have for you Maggie Paul. Maggie is the author of Scrimshaw, Borrowed World, and the chapbook Stones from the Baskets of Others. Her poetry reviews and interviews have appeared in the Catamaran Literary Reader, Rattle, the Monterey Poetry Review, Porter Gulch Review, Red Wheelbarrow, Frenzy, Salt, and others.
She is a poet and a nonfiction writer in Santa Cruz, California. Our focus in this conversation is twofold. First, we cover some of her famous conversation interviews with poets and writers from across California. We also discuss the history of California poetry. It was a wonderful conversation.
I know you'll love it. Let's go meet Maggie Paul.
In this episode, we meet Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker, an important early resident of Santa Monica.
In this episode, we conclude our three part episode series on the life and art of Chiura Obata.
Today, we explore the Tolowa tribe, a native group from the NW corner of California.
