Interview: Linda Neal Reising
In this heartwarming and insightful episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with poet and writer Linda Neal Reising.
From being the official eclipse poet of Indiana to reading at the iconic Scissortail Creative Writing Festival, Linda shares how community, history, and narrative poetry have shaped her creative life. We talk about the welcoming spirit of Scissortail, the joy of being "adopted" by fellow poets, and her unique path from the classroom to full-time writer with an impressive catalog—including two chapbooks, four full-length poetry collections, and an upcoming book of short stories.
Linda offers an accessible explanation of the difference between a chapbook and a full-length poetry collection, and gives us a peek into her prose writing and her compelling poetic novelette. Whether you’re a poet, a reader, or someone who simply loves stories that matter, this episode is a celebration of language, legacy, and literary kinship.
