Episode 7: Sue Goyette
This week Tara is joined by Halifax poet laureate Sue Goyette, who
offers insight into her process creating her new book Anthesis,
reworked from her nearly 20-year-old debut novel. Their wide-ranging
conversation touches on bearing witness to the agave in the Public
Gardens, Fiona Apple's comeback and the record only she could make,
feelings, late bloomers, smashing systems, and tough times. It's
really good.
