Episode 177: INTERVIEW w/ Poet Anastasia Walker (feat. Johnny Cash, Tricia Black, Love, Fancy Hagood, Penelope Houston, Gary Cawker, Emily Davis and the Murder Police)

In our final Pride episode, I speak with my friend, poet and writer Anastasia Walker. As we discuss, Anastasia and I met five years ago at our college reunion, and have kept in touch since. We talk about her upcoming book of poetry, The Girl Who Wasn’t And Is from bd-studios, and how the trans experience has changed and is changing across the generations that bridge the two of this. Also, a trans analysis of “Long Black Veil.” After our recording, Anastasia fleshed her thoughts out on her blog.
