Ever been in the writing daze? On this episode of The Writing Life Podcast we are joined by Indonesian writer and artist Khairani Barokka, who served as our Associate Artist in 2020. She is joined by Nine Arches Press stablemate Rishi Dastidar for a deep dive into the unconscious process of writing poetry and the environmental elements of Okka’s writing.
