We sit with Wilma Schindler—artist, writer, and West Texas host—as she reads Tiny White Snake and two new poems, then talk about grief softening anger, art as repair, and the way symbols can hold a family’s history without erasing its truth. The desert, the body, and a flute in the key of C round out a conversation about making, meaning, and being seen.

• Tiny White Snake reading and meaning
• anger softening to grief through ritual and art
• Snake Hill Asylum and generational trauma
• painting ancestors and healing after the fact
• poems as bridges to compassion and connection
• snakes as symbol, guide, and creative motif
• West Texas stays, dark skies, and silence
• wildlife, seasons, and the Big Bend drive
• returning to music and improvising by ear
• community spaces: Imprint, open mics, Mucky Duck
• truth, memory, and being ready to share
