How Poetry Becomes Polemics: Andrea LeDew on Unity, Writing, and Finding Common Ground


Listen Later

In this episode of the Authors On Mission Podcast, host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with Andrea W. LeDew to discuss her powerful new book Polemics: political poems and prose. Together, they explore how poetry and prose can serve as a time capsule of the past decade, capturing moments of division and offering a plea for unity.

Andrea shares her writing process, the inspiration behind her work, and her upcoming projects—including an audiobook release and a novel inspired by her son’s autism journey. Listeners will also hear practical tips for aspiring writers:

• ✍️ Capture ideas immediately—don’t dismiss fleeting thoughts.

• 🕒 Build a routine—1–2 hours, 3–4 times a week is enough.

• 🌐 Find community—local writing groups provide validation and connection.

This conversation is a reminder that words can bridge divides and inspire hope for a more united future.
