In Conversation with Sophia Stid
In this episode, we had the immense delight of chatting with the Fall 2022 Host Publications Chapbook Prize Winner, Sophia Stid! We discuss her prize-winning chapbook, But For I Am a Woman a gorgeous collection of poetry which explores the intersection of personal autonomy and deep spiritual connection through the writings and life of Julian of Norwich (ca. 1342 – 1416), a mystic who was the first woman known to write a book in the English language.
Sophia illuminates for us what drew her to this communion with Julian of Norwich, where she draws inspiration from (spoiler alert: the writings of Christian mystics + classic mystery novels are both involved!), how she approached writing the poems in But For I Am a Woman, and so much more.
Here are some of the books and other media discussed in this episode:
Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich
Reassemblage (documentary film) by Trinh T. Minh-ha
The Works of Dorothy Sayers
A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa
Sensational Books Exhibit at Bodliean Libraries
We hope you enjoy this conversation among friends, and as always, thanks for listening.
