EP. 121 — North Star w/ Dan O’Brien
This week, Jessica is joined by enemy of the state and husband, playwright and poet Dan O’Brien to discuss the launch of his three new books, including a memoir of his childhood and a book of prose poems about the year following their treatment for cancer. They talk about what inspired Dan to start writing, how they showed up for each other during that terrible time and dig into his heartbreakingly beautiful poems about coming back to life and finding yourself again. Grab the tissues, Deep Divers.
