In local remedies, Chiagoziem Jideofor speaks through memory, myth and strangeness to interpret lived and inherited experiences, and in this conversation we talk about everything from the Igbo Uri art form that is featured on the cover, to the way poems are like very different fruits that grow on the same tree—a tree that doesn't belong to anyone, but is ours collectively to tend and to share.

 

Chiagoziem is so fun to talk to, and brings such an engaging and meditative presence to the conversation on this feral podcast. We loved getting to learn more about her and about local remedies, and we're so honored to share this humorous and wise poet's work with you. As always, thanks for listening!
