#44 Genius and Estrangement with Ploi Pirapokin of Newfound #LitMagLove

In this episode, Ploi Pirapokin and Rachel Thompson start deep, jumping right into discussing estrangement for writers. Ploi shares about writing through immigration statuses and her Genius Visa. There is A LOT of laughter in this episode. (Rachel edited the big bursts of them, so they don't blast your eardrums.) You will find Ploi's joy as infectious—in the best way—as Rachel did during the interview. Ploi Pirapokin also reads from her award-winning lyric essay, “How to be Extraordinary in America.”This episode is brought to you by Lit Mag News Roundup: Stay up to date on all the latest news in the lit mag world by subscribing at litmagnews.substack.com, and by the Lit Mag Love, the five-week course that helps you get a big “YES” from a journal you love, and then another and another, taught by your podcast host Rachel Thompson.
