Writers Finding Community During the Pandemic with Carol Menaker & Wayne Lee

15 - Wayne and Carol.jpg

In‌ ‌the latest ‌episode of the Bowing to Elephants Podcast,‌ ‌I‌ ‌hold ‌my‌ ‌first‌ ‌roundtable‌ ‌conversation.‌ ‌C‌arol‌ ‌Menaker‌ ‌and‌ ‌Wayne‌ ‌Lee‌ ‌join‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌discuss‌ ‌our‌ ‌respective‌ ‌book manuscripts.‌ ‌We‌ ‌explore ‌death,‌ ‌grief,‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌racism‌ ‌that’s entrenched‌ ‌in‌ ‌our‌ ‌judicial‌ ‌system.‌ ‌ ‌

Carol, Wayne, and I met in a nine-month writing program called Write to the Finish. In this episode, we share our works in progress and what inspired us to write them!

Listen to this episode today, and join us as we discuss:

  • How the pandemic affects our writing, forcing us to slow down and appreciate the little things

  • My book in progress, For The Love of Food

  • How Carol's time as a juror on a Black man's murder trial inspired The Worst Thing We've Ever Done

  • Wayne's memoir, Service Husband: A Caregiver's Journey Through Disability, Suicide, & Recovery

  • What we discover about ourselves when we write!
