In this episode, I got to chat with the lovely Cislyn Smith, writer, poet, and community builder. Of course, community is not the only thing we talked about. Sappho, bubble tea, and hats were among the topics that came up.

Links mentioned:

• Find Cislyn and her work online at http://elushae.org/ and https://twitter.com/cislyn

• Sweetbitter: a history podcast focused mainly on queer women. In their first season, they not only discussed Sappho and her work, but brought it back to life as she originally intended it: through music. This is definitely worth a binge. https://sweetbitterpodcast.com/
