So many tears but what do they say?


Listen Later

We all know that moment - when you feel like you need to cry in front of other people, but don't want to cry. In this episode, Yowei talks to Heather Christle, the author of The Crying Book, to parse what’s happening in that moment, what tears are saying and how we should respond to them.

  • Heather Christle is a poet and professor at Emory University. She has a new book coming out in March called  In the Rhododendrums: A Memoir with Appearances by Virginia Wolf. It's available for preorder in all the usual places. You can follow Heather on  Twitter and Instagram @heatherchristle.
