On this episode of Lo Fi Lit, I invited Mesha Maren onto the show to discuss her involvement with Zona Motel - a literary brotherhood on substack. For people who adore, admire and are all about talking about cool ass books. So okay, she's written three novels - Shae, Perpetual West and Sugar Run. We discuss her background and coming up from a small town, activism and entering into a wrestling ring for research on a character. This was a dope episode.

Ivan Genc is a digital designer for Zona Motel over on substack. He's lives in Petrinja, Croatia . We discuss his poetry on Specta poems and how sink holes hit his town. Sink holes are cool but also not cool at all.

The mysterious user behind the twitter profile of @Moonandmouth, who wishes to remain anonymous - came on the show under the risk of assassination and ruin to discuss their latest book "Cataclysm Moves Me : I regret to Say"

We hung out in Austin, Texas after this episode was recorded - so yeah.

On this episode of lo fi lit, I interviewed Naomi Falk - author of The Surrender of Man. Out now from Inside the Castle Press. We talk for around two hours on everything from video games, furries, punching holes in walls and of course, art. Also discuss Archway and other things. Erin Taylor, Elle Nash, Chris Molnar and recent published books from Archway,

Here's more about the book from the website :

In this genre-defying memoir-in-series, Falk weaves together a rich tapestry of art and introspection, examining twenty pieces of art that have profoundly shaped her perception of herself and humanity.

Each chapter fixates on a singular work—a painting, a stone, a film, a photograph—exploring both its art historical context and its personal significance. The author features a diverse range of artists, from cherished dear friends to the familiar brilliance of Louise Bourgeois, Remedios Varo, Gregory Crewdson, Wendy Red Star, or Shiva Ahmadi.
