In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Zefyr Lisowski about her book Blood Box.
Zefyr Lisowski is a trans and
queer writer, artist, and North Carolinian currently living in NYC.
She's a Poetry Co-editor for Apogee

microchap Wolf Inventory (Ghost City Press,
2018) and is a 2019 Tin House Summer Workshop Fellow.
Zefyr's work has appeared or is
forthcoming in Lit Hub, Nat. Brut., Muzzle Magazine,
and DIAGRAM, among many other places; she's also
received support from Sundress Academy for the Arts, McGill
University, the New York Live Ideas Fest, and the 2019 CUNY
