Bonus Episode: Lizzy Brendel Interview

In this special episode of Book Watch, Sarah-Daye and Jordyn sit down with poet and author Lizzy Brendel to talk about her debut collection, The Human Condition Exhibition. Spanning a decade of lived experience, Lizzy’s work explores sexual assault, medicine, womanhood, social justice, love, and heartbreak with surgical clarity and deep emotional warmth.Lizzy joins us to discuss the vulnerability behind her poetry, how personal experience shapes her voice, and what it means to write so honestly about the parts of humanity we’re often taught to look away from. With poems that feel like diary entries shared between friends, this conversation dives into rage, catharsis, softness, and the quiet ache that makes her work both fiercely private and universally resonant.
