On the show this week, our first ever guest! The writer Ellie Norris from Memphis, Tennessee talks about her year on Substack. We have some TV recs, the usual shadowy darkness in the background, poetry by Mary Oliver, and life as a woman in Tennessee. You can buy Devotions, a collection of Mary Oliver poetry, post-free worldwide from Blackwell’s, my favourite bookshop in Oxford, England.
You can listen to Cyrena Wages on streaming or buy her music on physical formats on her website. Ellie Norris is here on Substack as well as Instagram and on TikTok. This episode was edited by Oli Seymour.
