"Library Hours" with Reed Brice: Muriel's Book and Other Parties

What is the relationship between the poet and her audience? What is the "green ribbon" that we all have around our throats? What is it like to go to a gay bar with Reed Brice?

All of these questions, plus more, to be answered by this week's guest: Pushcart Prize nominated author Muriel Leung is here to speak about the publication of her third book, a collection of essays-in-verse called, "Imagine Us, the Swarm" by Nightboat Books.

She is also here to discuss the short story "The Husband Stitch" from fiction writer Carmen Maria Machado's"Her Body and Other Parties" (The selection can be accessed here in its entirety, please do read beforehand if you want that book club experience!)
