Join host Ned Buskirk in conversation with author & editor Michelle Tea, while they talk about the story of her writing onto stage, her history running lesbian-feminist spoken-word & performance art collective Sister Spit, & the “mental illness” of writing & why it matters for our lives, our trauma, our healing.

Thanks to Beth Pickens for the “Death & God” chapter in her book Make Your Art No Matter What which offered a fitting launching off point for this conversation.
