Episode 72: Joseph Milosch

Author and poet Joseph Milosch is not one to short thrift the process of writing, whether it's his poetry or short stories. This was a lesson he learned very early on. In this episode of The Written Scene, Joseph talks about sharing short poems, his father's lessons on writing, using downtime in the military to write, the difficulty of getting a book of flash fiction published, why poetry is great for processing feelings, disguising short fiction as memoir, knowing and working with Steve Kowit, writing in a thoughtful way vs. just writing, the power of a perfectly placed line break in a poem, using humor in poetry and how it comes it naturally, having different editing processes between prose and poetry, how the audience can be the best teacher for a performer, and much more.
