Showing Up with Miriam Gershow

Miriam shares two griefs close to her heart: her dad’s death and the death of a dear friend. She talks about how she experienced grief differently with the two of them, how she decided to show up in big ways, and how grief changed her. Miriam Gershow is the author of Survival Tips: Stories (Propeller Books) and the forthcoming novel, Closer (Regal House, 2025). Her debut novel, The Local News (Spiegel & Grau), was hailed as “unusually credible and precise" and "deftly heartbreaking” by The New York Times. Miriam’s stories appear in The Georgia Review, Gulf Coast and Black Warrior Review, among other journals. Her flash fiction appears in anthologies from Alan Squire Books and Alternating Currents, and in Pithead Chapel and Variant Lit, where she won the inaugural Pizza Prize. Her creative nonfiction is featured in Salon and Craft Literary among other journals.
