author interview with sasha ravitch is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration for her experimental piece “the serpent finds eve in every lifetime; or, GARDEN REVISITED” and how her work in occulture and witchcraft informs her writing.
"The Book of Revelation has colonized my symbolic language without a clear or definable provenance. But can you write about queerness, about monstrous desire, about obsession, without calling the Devil or the Woman of the Apocalypse?" -sasha ravitch

author interview with chloe ho is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration for her piece “still life of womb” and how diction, alliteration, and internal rhyme come together to evoke the pain of menstruation.
"Subject matter naturally informs structure, definitely. Free verse comes the most natural for me, and I feel that it particularly suits "still life of womb" precisely because it's so loose, so unstructured. You re not particularly coherent when you're curled up immobile and trying to not literally cry out in pain, after all." -chloe ho

author interview with hannah madden is live on the (s)crawl blog ✍️

scrawlmag.com/blog/intervi...

learn more about the inspiration for her piece “My Disposal” and how she explores generational trauma through an everyday household appliance.
"In my story, I gave the garbage disposal a voice because it can often feel like we're being taken from more than we are willing to give up. At first it feels harmless, but as we are whittled down more and more, we realize that something has to change." -hannah madden
