#42 - Wild Roof Podcast: Marybeth Holleman, Author of Bloom Again

In the September episode, WRJ contributor Marybeth Holleman returns, joining Aaron Lelito and Ashley Cundiff to talk about her new novel Bloom Again.

We learn about Marybeth's diverse background that bridges the arts and sciences, as well as how living in both North Carolina and Alaska shaped her writing. And we get into the central themes of the book: climate anxiety, changing ecosystems, and the question of how to navigate it all.

Marybeth closes us out with a reading from the book (. . . and for the record, no polar bears were harmed in the process!).
