"In mapping out this collection, I pondered the best way to bring the Trojan War itself into Tennessee." - @MariaZoccola HM speaks with Maria Zoccola about her debut poetry collection "Helen of Troy, 1993," which reimagines the myth of Helen of Sparta. hungermtn.netlify.app/articles/maria…

"There’s so much possibility in front of us, and it starts with stepping back to question who you are, what your suffering means, and what you need to do about it." HM speaks with Laura Delano about her memoir, Unshrunk @LauraDelano @VikingBooks hungermtn.netlify.app/articles/laura…

In the 16th century, “paradox” denoted an opinion running counter to accepted opinion (from Greek paradoxon, “contrary [opinion]”), which isn’t exactly what it means now—something that seems contradictory but actually isn’t. #amreading @doylejacq in @HungerMtn

Wonderful interview with @SF_Montgomery in @HungerMtn

"I learned to shrink, to abbreviate my stories and my life so that I could be a good girl, a good woman who did not claim space." - @SF_Montgomery HM speaks with Sarah Fawn Montgomery about her new collection, Abbreviate @harbor_review hngrmtn.org/articles/sarah…

For @HungerMtn I spoke with Juliet Way-Henthorne about girlhood, ghosts, and rebellion in ABBREVIATE. hngrmtn.org/articles/sarah…

Excited that this little piece of mine, which is very close to my heart, is in the latest issue of @HungerMtn. It's about my top surgery, my twin sister, and the ways our bodies have grown and changed alongside each other. More at the link 🖤 hngrmtn.org/issues/hunger-…

Excited to have a weird wandering lyric essay in the new issue of @HungerMtn. Thanks to the editors for publishing "A Wild Goose Chase." (Thanks to Geoff Dyer for inspiring the essay and making me laugh.) I needed a lift today. hngrmtn.org/issues/hunger-…

"The criticism is that the book is too much, too messy,' too chaotic.' This is my favorite reverse-compliment. I love messy, chaotic stories filled with complicated relationships." - Domenica Ruta hungermtn.netlify.app/articles/domen…

"I've become better at managing what I can control by giving myself to the moments where nostalgia or beauty or strangeness lock eyes with me. That's how I've learned to write, to meet the page where it's at." - @stevenespadaw 👇 hungermtn.netlify.app/articles/steve…

"In this region, the barriers between dead and not-dead are fuzzier. Places feel haunted, or let’s say, occupied, and the attitude is, well, they were here first, so it is what it is. It’s comforting to think that the ancestors are nearby." hungermtn.netlify.app/articles/linda… 👈

Thrilled to have a CNF piece in Issue #31 of @HungerMtn . I'm super grateful to the editors for taking on personal work that touches on the fraught landscape of eldercare. @VCFA hngrmtn.org/issues/hunger-…
