This was an insightful and fun conversation with Summer - We chatted about mothering, striving to be present when life happens, and what community means. And of course, we talked about writing and her book!
Summer is an award-winning writer, anthropologist, performing "artivist," neurospicy mom to an autistic child, and a 20-year Alaskan teacher. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, The Sun, McSweeney's, Slate, Huff Post, Independent, and Electric Lit, among others, and she is a winner of the Alaska Statewide Poetry Contest and several Alaska-based writing grants. Having lived several years in Latin America and the Caribbean, she runs The Feral Stack, a community and newsletter that deeply examines Anglo-American culture, connecting behaviors and values that no longer serve us while offering up new ones that do.
Thank you for listening!
You can find Summer at The Feral Stack on Substack.
