Get a dose of southern magic with a side of charm in this conversation between authors Kerry Anne King and Willa Reece. Willa reads a short passage from her lovely new novel, Wildwood Whispers, and the conversation touches on the emotional and character arcs within the novel, the roots of the magical elements in Willa's own southern childhood, the important cultural role of wise women (but not wise guys) and so much more.

“Ghost in a Black Girl’s Throat” Summons Ancestral Pain

In this episode 241, we visit with Khalisa Rae, author of “Ghosts in a Black Girl’s Throat,” a vivid collection of poems that explore Black pain, agency, reclamation, and the ghosts—past and present—that haunt them.

Jaki Shelton Green, author of “I Want to Undie You,” had this to say about the book, “If storytelling in the griot's hands is a form of resistance, then Ghost in a Black Girl's Throat is a form of control. Khalisa Rae's poetics are unbreakable glass knives that own uncharted and unmarked underground burrows, providing refuge for righteous indignation… This powerful collection bears witness to the fraught overlap between women's bodies and minds. Ghost in a Black Girl's Throat reframes the Black body politic as sacrament, benediction, delicacy, and tenderness.”

GUEST: Kira Jane Buxton's writing has appeared in The New York Times, NewYorker.com, McSweeney’s, The Rumpus, Huffington Post, and more. Her debut novel Hollow Kingdom was an Indie Next pick, a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor, the Audie Awards, and the Washington State Book Awards, and was named a best book of 2019 by Good Housekeeping, NPR, and Book Riot.

“Feral Creatures--a stupendous sophomore novel for Buxton, and sentimental sequel to my favorite adventure story of 2019-- cannot be missed! It's a colorful education in climate change, ecology, and zoology; a tender acknowledgement of the unavoidable "dark tides" we all sink into--especially during disastrous times; a genuine display of the hopeful, hilarious, and often fearful process of building a family; a true odyssey.”

- Third Place Books (Lake Forest Park, WA)

"Kira Jane Buxton's voice is fresh, like a newly dug grave, but so joyful and honest you'll laugh out loud, and then check to make sure you haven't lost an eyeball."―Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Praise for Hollow Kingdom

"Buxton's quirky ideas and compelling nonhuman characters will satisfy literary fiction and zombie genre enthusiasts alike who are looking for something beguilingly different."―Booklist, Starred

Review for Hollow Kingdom:

Kira Jane Buxton calls the tropical utopia of Seattle home and spends her time with three cats, a dog, two crows, a charm of hummingbirds, five Steller's jays, two dark-eyed juncos, two squirrels, and a husband.
