Between The Covers : Conversations with Writers in Fiction, Nonfiction & Poetry · Claudia Rankine : Triage · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

You were in California, I believe, and you said there was university money allocated for just such a thing for from your faculty department budget to fly up to Portland, have a conversation at the radio station, which you did. podcast-host

At the time, I was meeting your work with great interest, but also not really bringing much foreknowledge. podcast-host

Uh, engaging with your ideas, I think, from a relatively naive place. podcast-host

And I say this because I feel like the show has developed a politics over the last 12 years through encounter. podcast-host

Through talking with Viet Tan Wynn and Solma Sharif, Nikki Finney, Natalie Diaz, Dion Brand, Adania Shibli, among others. podcast-host

But this journey of learning through conversation starts in a deep way, I think, with ours. podcast-host

And also perhaps my first conversation with the poet Morgan Parker. podcast-host

It even informed who I invited for years. podcast-host

The questions that you activated when we talked, sort of prompting me to invite others to hear their answers to those questions. podcast-host

So I both wanted to acknowledge a uh I think a debt to you and your thinking, but also as a way to welcome you back on the show. podcast-host

Well the book podcast-host

This book, Triage, brings up so much for me and I think it contains so many possible ways in that I sort of debated how best to start. podcast-host

And I decided in the end to start with something not by you at all, the striking cover. podcast-host

Partly because your books often foreground and center remarkable contemporary art from beginning to end, but more because I think this image, it encapsulates so much about the book that it's almost incredible to believe that it wasn't made specifically for the book. podcast-host

So maybe we could start with you talking about Autumn Night's Corelle de Montre, what this work means for. podcast-host

for you on its own terms, but also why you wanted it as our first encounter of triage. podcast-host

And and perhaps as a as part of that you could describe to listeners who haven't seen it yet as you speak about it. podcast-host

I mean it really is. podcast-host

uh perfectly a conjoined twin with the book, the image. podcast-host

It's which is so great. podcast-host
