I had such a fun time chatting with Brittany Hause on this month’s episode of the podcast Into the Looking Glass.  We covered a lot of ground, from my upcoming chapbook, to different processes for writing speculative fiction and poetry, to video games.  Be forewarned, this one’s kind of a marathon.  It does follow the format of the other episodes:  interview questions, then a reading, then a writing prompt.  Brittany also has a connection to South America—and does gorgeous translations of speculative poetry from that region—which fed into their very thoughtful questions and our follow-up discussions on those influences for each of us. 

Which poem did I choose to read?  A brand-new prose poem, “The Labyrinth Proper.”  I think this is the first time I’ve had something published in audio before print, although the text will also appear soon in Sidequest. 

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the connections between Oregon and Ecuador, how I feel about rough drafts, a not-so-proper labyrinth, and more!
