Su Cho and Eugenia Leigh in Conversation

This week, Su Cho had the honor of speaking with Eugenia Leigh. Cho says reading Leigh’s work changed her: “I was a shy poet, and reading her work emboldened me to say what I needed to say.” They talk about Leigh’s research into attachment theory, the authentic self, healing, hindsight, and how we can accept our past selves. Note: This episode mentions child abuse.

Eugenia Leigh reads “My Whole Life I Was Trained to Deny Myself” from the September issue of Poetry.
