Colby Cedar Smith joins me to talk about the long path to publication, the communities (and rejections) that shape us, and the verse novel as a space of compression and expansion.

Colby is the author of The Siren and the Star and Call Me Athena, award-winning verse novels that center women’s voices and the enduring presence of the past.

Here you’ll find books by Colby Cedar Smith, along with titles that illuminated our conversation. Purchases through Bookshop.org support independent bookstores nationwide, and a small portion of each sale helps sustain the podcast, produced in partnership with WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport.
