Marisa Crane is a writer based in San Diego, CA. What I love about Marisa’s chapbook Our Debatable Bodies is how it moves from one emotion to another and another, both within a poem and throughout the collection—the poems juxtapose our society’s casual misogyny and homophobia with the tenderness and intimacy of a moment between lovers. In our conversation, Marisa and I talked about her book, our “zig-zagging brains,” and what it means to invite an audience into our private moments. Then for the second segment, we talked about the hit sitcom Schitt’s Creek.
(Conversation recorded October 8, 2019.)
Bonus Reading: Subscribers to the Likewise Media Patreon campaign can hear Marisa read her poem “We Get To Talking About Dating Apps & I Remember How.”

Lyz Lenz is a writer based in Iowa. Part journalism and part memoir, Lyz’s book God Land is a nuanced, insightful, and moving look at the role of faith in the culture of Middle America. In our conversation, Lyz and I talked about her book, belonging, false nostalgia, and the ways marginalized people are expected to share their pain. Then for the second segment, we talked about country music.
(Conversation recorded September 19, 2019.)
