Erica Wright is a poet, a crime novelist, and now a non-fiction writer, three genres of writing you don’t normally associate together. But, here we are. Erica stopped by the Jam Bunker to talk with Brad about her latest book, SNAKE, which is part of Bloomsbury’s Object Lessons series. She’s also the poetry editor and a senior editor at Guernica Magazine as well as a former editorial board member for Alice James Books.
Along with all the writing chat Erica and Brad also talked the horribleness of social media, making up stories in the woods, and growing up in very small towns. (And, ghosts. Definitely ghosts.)
