This week, in celebration of Black History Month, we are coming back to one of our favourite interviews with poet, essayist, and novelist Ian Williams, whose brain we really connected with. His book of essays, Disorientation: Being Black in the World, is thought-provoking and beautiful — all the things a book of essays should be.

Ian Williams is the author of six books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. His latest book, Disorientation, considers the impact of racial encounters on ordinary people. His novel Reproduction won the Scotiabank Giller Prize, and was published in Canada, the US, the UK, and Italy. His poetry collection Word Problems converts the ethical and political issues of our time into math and grammar problems. It won the Raymond Souster award.

Riding through our days with the reframing energy of this cat/owner duo — it takes two (or more) to sustain a reframing practice when the road is bumpy. We spoke at a podcasting conference this weekend about this very thing…and we think the advice translates beyond the field. Share this week’s newsletter with your person. Your self-care bestie. Your ride or die.

Love Nat and Bec
