Exhibit G: Keeping house with Sarah Trembath

The state of a room can reflect the state of mind. Join me on March 23, 2020 for Presenting Evidence that God Still Loves Women and Writers as I talk with Dr. Sarah Trembath about the relationship between housekeeping, sharing space, and writing. Dr. Trembath draws connections between the way she keeps house and the form her writing takes. For her that writing often takes the form of a hybrid text.

In this week’s Opening Paragraph, Trembath reads from Toni Morrison’s The Source of Self-Regard.

Exhibit F: Exit at will

Sit with me for a few minutes while I think about painting my front door. The front door of a house sees so much action. When I look at it now, I am reminded of the amount of time wasted hollering, while standing at the door waiting for one family member or another to be ready to leave the house. In this episode, released March 16, 2020, I reflect on the tension between the ability to merely open the door and exit at will and responsibility of raising a family.

In this episode’s Opening Paragraph I read from Delia Owens’s Where the Crawdad Sings.

As the one charged with the care of laundry, there’s hardly been a day in nearly 30 years when I have not been acutely aware of the underwear situation for the people in her family. Join me March 9th on Presenting Evidence that God Still Loves Women and Writers as I consider the cost of invisible work while caring for a treasured silk blouse.

Exhibit D: Lipstick and rifles Ukrainian women

Join me March 2, 2020 on the podcast Presenting Evidence that God Still Loves Women and Writers for this wide ranging conversation with Olha Onyshko, a filmmaker born in the Soviet Union who documents the work of women in Ukraine’s struggle to establish and maintain their fragile independence. After watching seamstresses who worked at a Ukrainian opera house make bulletproof vests from scrap metal and grandmothers standing against the Russian back army in Maidan, Onyshko maintains that women have the power to transform the world. Find out more about her film, Women of Maidan. Women of Maidan

Onyshko selected three very different picks for Opening Paragraph: Jaden Rose Phoenix’s Beyond Human, A.K. Shevchenko’s The Game, and James Ragan’s Womb-Weary. Beyond Human The Game Womb Weary.
