In this episode, we survey the subtle and unflinching craftsmanship of writer Wu Zao—a woman whose boldly spun poetic narratives reflect the unconventionality with which she lived her life.

We analyze a segment of her work as part of our “Poetry Appreciation” theme, while simultaneously dissecting intricate topics like sexual self-identification, romantic fixation, and gender in an historical/intercontinental context.

Please join us as we try to read a little more, write a little better, and explore the human condition—together.
