Laura Snapes shared the influence of PJ Harvey's Uh Huh Her album on her life at NPR Music.
Then 15, my friends and I were fervent converts to the business of image cultivation. Harvey's self-interrogation and gleeful self-destruction was a wicked challenge to it, especially watching her wreck the chic beauty that the media had us believe was a woman's final form.

The Seattle Times profiled author Elissa Washuta.
“Magic, to me, is still a really unsettled concept,” Washuta said in a recent interview, “and that’s partly why I like it. In the book, of course, there are different kinds of magic. There’s ‘magick’ as in witchcraft — the kind sometimes spelled with a ‘k’ at the end. There’s magic like stage magic or illusions, and the magic of falling in love. And then, importantly, there’s the way magic is used in a somewhat figurative way to evoke feelings. A person’s conception of magic is very personal.”
