Elizabeth Sylvia is a poet and high school English teacher. Her first collection of poetry, None but Witches, offers a series of reflections on the women in Shakespeare’s plays and female experiences present and past. She is also the author of a chapbook, My Little Book of Domestic Anxieties, and she’s now working on poems about Marie Antoinette and the end of the world.  In this episode, we discuss Elizabeth’s creative process, Titus Andronicus’s bloody conclusion, Marie Antoinette’s Potemkin farm, and more.
