Lyndsay Rush's Poetry is A Bit Much
Episode 415, Sep 27, 04:01 AM
In episode 415 Mary Oliver's Drunk Cousin brings poetry to our cynical time
Sarina here! There was a scramble over who got to interview Lyndsay Rush about her poetry, but I raised my hand first.
I’ve always thought of poetry as the fustiest kind of writing, but the moment I opened A Bit Much, I knew that Lyndsay was here to change my mind. Not only is her poetry gorgeous, her path to becoming a published author was unusual in all the best ways.
Tune in to hear how she accidentally became a poet. And how she accidentally accumulated over 140,000 Instagram followers.
We ask her about that magic moment—when she suddenly realized that this Instagram poetry habit of hers was going to be a whole big thing. It’s a publishing story for the ages!
Or just skip to the good stuff and find A Bit Much at Bookshop, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

Hey readers—KJ here. This episode of #AmWriting is brought to you by my latest, Playing the Witch Card. I wrote this at a moment when I needed more magic in my life—but it turned out to be a book about how until we know who we are and what makes us happy, even magic doesn’t help. My main character, Flair, is a total control freak who fears the chaos created by her family deck of Tarot cards and the cookies it inspires her to make until she decides that she can harness their power to control the world and people around her—but that’s not what the cards are for at all. I was inspired by what I see as the real magic of Tarot cards—and tea leaves and palm reading and every form of oracle: they help us to see and understand our own stories. As someone for whom stories are pretty much everything, I love that. You can buy Playing the Witch Card on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop.org and my local indie—and I hope you’ll love it too.
