Episode 5: Julia Bloch - At Work (And At Play) In A World Of Words

In this episode, I caught up with Julia Bloch in Philadelphia, where she lives and works as the director of the creative writing program at the University of Pennsylvania. We talked about her life as a teacher, as a poet, as a mother and as a daughter, and found ourselves delighting in how the ever-changing nature of language impacts and enhances our lives. And I learned how poetry, in particular, has a unique power to challenge norms, make unexpected connections and change how we think and move in the world.
