legacies and futures

The end of the year leads the dudes to do some reflecting on life, death, authorial legacy, and what the future should look like. Bob reads from Diane Seuss's 'frank: sonnets,' Chris reads "Leah Gilliam, 'Sapphire and the Slave Girl,' 1995, 18:20" by Anaïs Duplan, and the lads wonder what 6'9" NBA players are supposed to do. Note: for further reading on the "what are we all doing here" question of writing, please check out Kathy Fish's blog post on her The Art of Flash Fiction Substack, "On Literary 'Success.'" The question Kathy asked on Twitter and begins the blog with was on Chris's mind when this episode was recorded. By the time we got this edited and posted, Kathy had posted her column. Worth reading in conjunction with this episode. Check it out here: https://artofflashfiction.substack.com/p/on-literary-success?utm_source=%2Finbox&utm_medium=reader2
