6. Dysfluent Literature with Maria Stuart

Host Patrick Campbell is joined by Sam Simpson and Dr. Maria Stuart to discuss Maria’s work on the Stammering Collective and her readings of dysfluency in poetry. Maria talks about her experiences in university as a person who stutters – both as a student and an educator, her work on dysfluency in Emily Dickinson’s poetic voice, (dys)fluency in popular culture, and building a stuttering heritage.
