In this deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation, Red Hen Press publisher Kate Gale sits down with singer-songwriter and poet Amy Speace & screenwriter and novelist Luke Goebel to discuss their new books and dive into a conversation of creativity, recovery, music, literature, and artistic purpose.

Amy Speace reflects on the relationship between songwriting and poetry, describing them as ”the same religion, different sect.” Luke Goebel explores the inspirations behind his novel Kill Dick. He discusses writing about power, wealth disparity, addiction, and the systems that shape contemporary American life.
