Who are epigraphs for?
This hour: the art of the epigraph.

Plus, a look at how some movies use epigraphs.

- Tajja Isen: A contributing writer for The Walrus and the author of Some of My Best Friends
- Courtney Maum: The author of five books including Before and After the Book Deal and the memoir The Year of the Horses; she also writes the Before and After the Book Deal Substack
