057 Ellene Glenn Moore on "Bitterblue" by Kristin Cashore

Ellene Glenn Moore is a Philadelphia based, award-winning writer of poetry, lyric non-fiction, and critical essays. Her book How Blood Works won the 2020 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize and will be published by Kent State University Press later this year. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy, because I love her careful, thoughtful way with words. Today we talked about the intersection between poetry and fantasy genres, truth and gaslighting, and how a body holds on to trauma.   Support the Best Book Ever Podcast on Patreon   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram   Guest: Ellene Glenn Moore Website/Instagram   Want to be a guest on the Best Book Ever Podcast?
