CONTENT WARNING: Mention of sexual assault, domestic violence, and drug misuse (10:15-11:33) In this episode, Johanna and Sarah discuss Life of the Party by Olivia Gatwood. This is a poetry collection in which, to quote the book description, Gatwood "weaves together her own coming of age with an investigation into our culture's romanticization of violence against women. In precise, searing language—at times blistering and riotous, at times soulful and exuberant—she explores the boundary between what is real and what is imagined in a life saturated with fear."
