On this episode, Dave Fettig begins the episode talking with Patti Horvath about her debut story collection, But Now Am Found. The characters in these stories struggle to make sense of upheaval in their lives. But Now Am Found is a compelling exploration of the human spirit confronted by abrupt and rending change.
in the second part, Annie Harvieux has a discussion with Linda LeGarde Grover about her poetry collection, The Sky Watched: Poems of Ojibwe Lives. The Sky Watched is a collective memoir in poetry of an Ojibwe family and tribal community, from creation myth to this day, updated with new poems.

After the break, Annie speaks to Tess Gunty, author of this year’s National Book Award contender The Rabbit Hutch, about the roles of female saints and mystics, subverting the male gaze and the notion of exploited women “asking for it,” Internet-speak in books, and crafting complex and compelling characters.
