New season, new voice at the table. I’m joined by Kevin Maina (@mainamind) as we dive into a gothic, time-spanning feast about appetite, autonomy, and women who refuse to be consumed. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil moves from a 16th-century colony to Victorian England to modern Boston, braiding three lives into one reckoning.

In this episode:

• Why the three timelines sing together

• The most haunting images and why they linger

• How the book turns “monster” into a choice rather than a curse

• A simple listener practice: write three lines that begin with “I will not starve”
