14. Courtney Marie Andrews

Selected Prose

Hello Hello Hello! Recently I spoke with Grammy-nominated musician and poet Courtney Marie Andrews! Her debut poetry collection, Old Monarch, came out on April 6, 2021. She has a hell of a unique poetic voice, and Old Monarch is a beautiful book. I'll read this again and again. Lucky for us, she agreed to read a couple of poems during this episode. Courtney is originally from Phoenix, Arizona, but has traveled the world round. We discuss her upbringing, travels, touring, the wisdom of the Sonoran, being nominated for a Grammy, writing honestly and self-critically, the work of Jack Gilbert, Gabriel García Márquez, John Steinbeck and East of Eden, Annie Dillard, and so much more. Please find more from Courtney at https://www.courtneymarieandrews.com and support her on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/CourtneyMarieAndrews. Until next time...
