A thoughtful discussion with author Carvell Wallace on topics such as: love and beauty as a means of healing from trauma, finding and collecting bits of life to share with others, form reflecting content, distinguishing the difference between child and adult narration, essay as exploration or asking "what's missing?", the ongoing tragedies of masculinity, run-on sentences, 2nd person point of view, writing about survival, expanding readers' understanding of queerness, challenging traditional ideals of intimacy on the page, using writing as an investigative tool to detangle ourselves from oppressive systems, and much more.
