Poet, essayist and Ohio State University faculty member Zo\u00eb Brigley grew up in Wales, reading books by and about authors. She felt a particular draw toward the fascinating and controversial life of feminist icon Mary Wollstonecraft. Brigley’s most recently published book is a collection coauthored with Jenny Mitchell and Roy McFarlane called Family Name<\/em>. In it, Brigley explores the life of this pioneer via found poetry in Wollstonecraft’s writing and Brigley’s own poetry. She delves into Wollstonecraft’s life, relationships, and contributions to women’s rights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Brigley also shares insights into her role as an editor for Wales’s leading poetry journal, Poetry Wales<\/em>. We discuss the selection process for published works and the importance of encouraging writers. Our conversation also touches on the art of writing, the intimacy of letters, and the joys of interviewing poets about their creative process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
