Outlook 2022-01-03 - There Plant Eyes, A Bonus Interview With M. Leona Godin, Pt. 2


Listen Later

Taking a bit of a break at the end of one year and the beginning of the next, but we have some bonus materials we hadn’t planned on airing, but it was too good speaking with author Dr. M. Leona Godin again and we had to share.
On Outlook this week and last, we’re replaying a Zoom interview co-host Kerry did with Dr. Godin about her June 1st, 2021 release of her cultural history, an exploration of blindness throughout the last few centuries, up to modern times. It’s about what sighted people think about blindness, in the tellings in literature and in cultural and historical examinations or lack-there-of and what blind people say when given a voice.
We spoke a lot about her book, There Plant Eyes: A Personal and Cultural History of Blindness throughout the second half of 2021 and we’re ending the year and beginning the next with it again here and now.
Kerry was preparing an interview for online print literary journal The Rumpus and planned to use the Zoom recording for her notes when writing it up. It turned out, the casual yet informative discussion, taking place on June 24th, 2021, would be an audio basis for the print piece.
So check out the conversation between Kerry and Leona, Part Two of two parts. (And check out Part One from last week.)
