In Conversation with Paul Lisicky at The Sea Ranch Lodge.06.19.25
In this episode from Write-Up-The-Coast, we bring you an exclusive "In Conversation" event with acclaimed NYC writer Paul Lisicky! Recorded live on June 19th, 2025, from the stunning Sea Ranch Lodge on the northern tip of Sonoma County, California, Paul delves into his latest book, Song So Wild and Blue: The Music of Joni Mitchell, and shares insights on the craft of writing and the very essence of being a writer with host Mark Sanford Gross.
Experience Paul's profound words as they resonate with the magical backdrop of where redwoods meet the ocean. Beyond the main event, Paul also stopped by the community-run Four Eyed Frog bookstore for a casual reading. On his last day, under the redwood trees before heading to the airport, Paul and Mark sat down for a casual conversation over coffee about what it means to be an author, a writing inspiration, and a professor these days.
A special thanks to the staff at The Sea Ranch Lodge for making this event possible.
