Shorties (Mai Nardone Interviewed, New Music by Bully, and more)
Mai Nardone discussed his new story collection Welcome Me to the Kingdom with Electric Literature.
What I liked about the title is that it can sound like a plea and it can also sound like a demand, a kind of insistence. The title story is about two women who are trying to find their place in the world geographically and also socially. One is older and one is much younger; it’s the younger one who is reeling from dislocation. In that particular story “the kingdom” is the men’s world of gambling. The title is the older woman joking about entering that kingdom.

Camonghne Felix talked to Shondaland about her memoir Dyscalculia.
In poetry, cliché is assumed. If you study poetry, you know that cliché is actually not a bad thing. Cliché is about familiarity. One of the things you want most in a poem is some familiarity, some sense of it. Ultimately with this book, I realized that because I was not specifically writing poems and I was writing in prose, I could take advantage of the cliché in a more unique way, and to speak in physiological terms, I took the cliché and spread it out and spread it as thin as possible.
