  • 📖 'Every time I go to an editor... we have this conversation around language. Sometimes after my pieces are published the language that an editor has chosen to use... has been challenged'. 🎤 EJ Clarence’s essay 'Dovetails' appeared in @overlandlitmag Issue 249. The essay deals with forced adoption and the language we use when we speak about it. And we should say, EJ was very complimentary about Overland’s editors! 🎧 Listen on your favourite podcast app or read the transcript at thegarretpodcast.com/overland-natalia-figueroa-barroso-ej-clarence. 📓#thegarretpodcast #garretpodcast #thegarret #auslit #literarypodcast #ejclarence #nataliafigueroabarroso
