We revisit her childhood growing up in a haunted mansion in the legendary Sleepy Hollow, about the gift that has been handed down in her family for generations, and about how her ability to see and talk to the dead has impacted her work as both writer and futurist.

In this week's moving episode of Are You There, Ghost? It's Me, Chiwan, we have Florida-based poet Jubi Arriola-Headley, author of the incredible ORIGINAL KINK (Sibling Rivalry Press). We go deep and heavy in an emotional conversation about queerness, about family, about leaving family to find poetry, and to come to terms with an absent father, Daddy, who will visit once more long after death. But please, whatever you do, don't share this episode with Jubi's mother.

Welcome to a new year and a new episode of Are You There, Ghost? It's Me, Chiwan. Today's special guest is poet and photorgrapher Clare Welsh, who is based in Pittsubrgh, PA. We talk about the cryptid she experienced as a child growing up in Pennsylvania, whether cryptids are creatures human beings thought we'd killed off, and about photography as an act of conjuring.
