Finding Good Bones

This one is for the procrastinators and cowards in all of our hearts as guest Wendell Kimper, Amy, and Kate discuss "The Kookaburras", a poem by Mary Oliver. The episode covers the multitudes of potential, the desire (if not always the ability) to unlock the cages of suffering, and figuring just exactly what (or who?) is a god of flowers. Annnnnd we're taking it back to Buffy. Of course.

This week on the Finding Good Bones podcast, our guest Morgan Anderson takes Amy and Kate to "The Middle Place", a poem by Rupi Kaur. It's a dreamy discussion on turning people into gods, building ivory towers, taking off the mask, and figuring out how to be mortals together. Oh, and Morgan's murders of crows!

Join Amy and Kate for the very first official episode of the Finding Good Bones podcast - a discussion of the namesake of the podcast, the poem Good Bones by Maggie Smith (the poet, not the Dame).  This episode covers the power of sparseness and repetition, the importance of breaking and reforming, and the glory of fake footnotes - in between lots of cackling.

Welcome to the longest teaser ever! Can you still call it a teaser when it's basically the length of the episode? Well we can and we did. Hear all about Finding Good Bones, a podcast digging into the writing that lifts us up, from hosts Amy and Kate. Get ready for raucous laughter, heavy sighs, lengthy descriptions, and a lot of fun.
