After 122 literary agents rejected her work, Kansas novelist Bryn Greenwood finally found a publisher in August for All the Ugly and Wonderful Things. She reflects on her own experiences that lead to the complicated fictional tale of a young girl who grows up on a meth compound, and falls in love with an ex-con nearly 20 years her senior.
Plus, 18th & Vine Poet Laureate Glenn North shares a few poems and reflects on his long-term and ongoing role in the changing historic district.
Guests:
- Bryn Greenwood, Lawrence, Kansas-based novelist
- Glenn North, poet laureate, 18th & Vine, director, Black Archives of Mid-America
