This week we're talking about research-driven memoir writing, books that are difficult to pin down, and what it means to say that writing feels "poetic."
Our reading was The Grave on the Wall, the prize-winning memoir by poet Brandon Shimoda, which begins with the author on a search to understand his grandfather's life.
In the second half of the show, we talk about strategies for talking about student work that might be offensive or otherwise problematic.
