This interview happened a little over a year ago and I just never posted it. I really enjoyed talking with Miriam about Essay, which is now a book in the world! Love Miriam Atkin and Wave Farm.
“On this month's edition of "Specific Objects: Talks on Art in the Catskills," host Miriam Atkin speaks with Catskill-based poet Stacy Szymaszek. Stacy reads from their forthcoming book-length poem titled ESSAY (Krupskaya, 2025), and we discuss the poems, covering topics such as loving beyond usefulness, the essay as form, literary lineages, cows, and poetry as a means of / challenge to survival.”
