\"\"<\/a>Writer, poet, professor, editor and old friend Charles Bivona<\/a> returns to the show for a wide-ranging conversation about art, depression, anxiety, midlife health crises (his diabetes, my CLL), Buddhism, Vietnam & contagious trauma, writing his autobiography on Patreon<\/a>, and more. Our 20+ years of friendship yield an intriguing conversation about how our lives have changed in response to and\/or defiance of the world around us. We get into the heavy stuff this time, but don’t fret: there’s room for humor with my old pal, too. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go read The Mourning After<\/a> and Memoirs In Fragments<\/a><\/p>\n

(You should also check out our 2014 conversation<\/a> and the 3 monthly check-ins we did in 2016: March<\/a>, April<\/a>, May<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n
