If By You, You Mean We, by Amy Woolard

"You have to acknowledge the negative things in the past... you can’t just ignore it or 'bless your heart' it.""Maybe that’s something that’s so infuriating about some people who write about the south they refuse to acknowledge the privilege and the power."Beer: Retitled Pils (Against the Grain Brewing, Louisville, KY)Poetry: from Amy Woolard's book "Neck of the Woods" (2020, Alice James Books)Crush: Sarah and Marta (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/magazine/title-ix-sexual-harassment-accusations.html)Episode 31 is all about pilsners and some Southern poetry! Erica and Alyx talk about a longtime favorite brewery, Against the Grain, as well as the nuance and acknowledgement of the past (and present!) needed to write excellent Southern poetry. They then chat about Amy Woolard's long-time-coming book about a childhood best friend and its connection to Wizard of Oz. Cheers!
