What makes stories so powerful?In Episode 11 of Beyond the Page, Steve sits down with author, artist, educator, and award-winning poet Darlene Franklin Campbell for a thoughtful conversation about fantasy, mythology, identity, and the enduring importance of storytelling.Darlene discusses how her love of Southern fiction eventually led her back to the science fantasy series she'd been developing for nearly three decades, explores Carl Jung's ideas about identity and the shadow self, and explains why mythology continues to resonate with readers across generations.They also talk about worldbuilding, poetry, teaching, creativity in the age of AI, and why authentic human stories are the stories we come back to generation after generation.Whether you're a fantasy fan, a writer, or someone fascinated by the power of stories, this episode offers plenty to think about.Guest: Darline Franklin-Campbell https://www.darlenefranklincampbell-author.com/Featured Books: The Zhandarian Chronicles https://www.darlenefranklincampbell-author.com/the-zhandarian-chroniclesPage Chewing BlogBecome a Page Chewing MemberPage Chewing ForumJoin Captivate.fmJoin PodMatchSend a message via SpeakPipePodcast equipment used (Amazon Affiliate links):Rodecaster DuoRode PSA1+ Professional Studio ArmRode Procaster Microphone
