The AWP Edition (feat. Pamela Gullard)

Recorded live on the busiest day of AWP 26 in Baltimore, Josh and Dasha drag a microphone onto the conference floor—ambient noise, raised voices, a missing scarf, and all—for the first of two episodes from the convention. In between the chaos, a conversation about what AWP actually feels like from the inside: the surprising generosity of writers in person versus online, the live blog Josh has been writing from the hotel room between days on the floor, and the way even a conference vlog can become an exercise in the real problems of life writing. Then the main event: a conversation with short story writer and educator Pamela Gullard, whose collection Lake Crescent and Other Spirits just landed her a finalist spot in the Foreword Reviews short fiction contest. Call in with questionsVisit our site for full show notesLinks:Pam Gullard’s Lake Crescent and Other SpiritsBarrett Warner’s Galileo PressBrad Listi’s otherppl and DeepDiveEdgar Allen Poe’s “exhalation of the spirit”Theme music: “1982” by See Jazz
