Mark Leidner on Aphorisms, Writing, Risk, Memory, Parables, Myth, Poetry, Religion, Miracles, Nature, Childhood, and Church

In today's flashback, an outtake from Episode 545, my conversation with author and poet Mark Leidner. It first aired on October 3, 2018. Leidner is a writer from south Georgia who currently lives in California with his family. His books include a poetry collection called Returning the Sword to the Stone, a story collection entitled Under the Sea, and a collection of aphorisms called The Angel in the Dream of Our Hangover. He posts shorter writing on twitter, videos and photos on instagram, and longer writing can be found on substack. *** Otherppl with Brad Listi is a weekly literary podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today's leading writers.
