Zibby welcomes viral TikTok poet Josie Balka to discuss I HOPE YOU REMEMBER, a breathtaking poetry collection about love, loss, envy, hope, relationships, body image, nostalgia, and the universal longings that live deep in our souls. Josie shares how a therapist’s advice to open her heart completely changed her perspective on life. She also reflects on her creative process (it’s mostly spontaneous and done in her iPhone Notes app!) and emphasizes the power of simple, conversational writing.
