Hey folks. Today we speak with Emmett Grogan about his novel Twelve Stories. We had an interesting conversation, and I hope you enjoy it!
Get Lit
E377 with PAIGE MAYLOTT

E376 with ROSHAN JAMES and DOMENICO CAPILONGO
Hey folks! This week we talk to two different poets and writers. First up is Domenico Capilongo, here to talk about 1972. After that, Roshan James is here to discuss her collection Pink Moon. Enjoy!
E375 with TIFFANY MORRIS
Hey everyone. Hope your January has been excellent. Today’s guest is Tiffany Morris, joining me to talk about her book Green Fuse Burning. Enjoy!
E374 with KLIPH NESTEROFF
Thrilled to have Kliph Nesteroff back on the show this week. I’ve known Kliph for about fifteen years (not well; we just barely meet the requirements to be called “acquaintances”) and I’ve followed his writing career with enthusiasm. Outrageous: A History of Showbiz and the Culture Wars is another winner. He’s a fun interview and has plenty to say. Content warning for a couple of swears 😀
E373 with JEFF BURSEY
Hi folks! Today we’re back with author and critic Jeff Bursey. We talk about a few things including his most recent books of criticism and fiction. Tune in!
E372 with STEACY EASTON
Hey all! Welcome to the new year. I hope 2024 is amazing for each of you (whatever that means for you!). I have a few plans and hopes over here myself…
As for today’s show, forward we go! Today’s guest is my friend Steacy Easton, a critic, author, visual artist, academic and all-around fascinating person. We talk about two of their books, which are wildly different from one another. First, Why Tammy Wynette Matters, which is about exactly that. Then, Daddy Lessons, which is about many, many things (imo no one quote sums it up so check all the quotes out here).
Enjoy!
E371 with GARY BARWIN
One of our favourite return guests, uh, returns again! The excellent Gary Barwin is with us as the last interview of 2023. We talk about all kinds of things, but mostly his latest collection Imagining Imagining: Essays on Language, Identity and Infinity. Enjoy, and Happy New Year!
E370 with BEN ROBINSON
GET LIT today with Hamilton poet and author Ben Robinson! We talk about his new work, The Book of Benjamin.
E369 with ARJUN BEDI
Hey folks! A special show for me today. My publisher passed along a submission a couple years back, asking if I was interested in editing the work. Over time, the book became known as The Blood of Five Rivers, and I can’t recommend it enough. How do I end up working with such great authors?
Anyhow, Arjun Bedi joins to me to talk about the book, “an intergenerational tale of fathers and sons, migration and integration, and the lasting impacts of legacy.” It’s also emotional, experimental and sometimes funny as hell. Listen in, then go read the book 😀
