Podcast Episode 30: Riverine

read by

Welcome back to the Reckoning Press Podcast! Hey folks, it’s me, Michael J. DeLuca, publisher, here with the exciting news that not only do we have a new episode for you, featuring Casey June Wolf reading Danielle Jorgensen Murray’s beautiful, Angela Carter-inflected story “Riverine” from Reckoning 5, but we’ve got a new audio editor and future host, Aaron Kling, whose work you will be hearing here, and which also means hopefully we will have more new episodes coming soon!

So I’ve got three bios to read you. First, just let me remind you that Reckoning is always open to submissions, and we’re currently reading for Reckoning 9, which is a general, unthemed issue—if it’s creative writing on environmental justice, we want to read it. ¡Y gracias a nuevo miembro de nuestro departamento editorial Guillermo Mendoza, ahorita tenemos directrices para envíos en español!

Thank you very much for listening, and I hope you enjoy!

“Riverine” by Danielle Jorgensen Murray

Casey’s coda: My name is Casey June Wolf, and I chose to read this story because it is so beautiful. It’s beautifully written. The way she uses language is enchanting, to me, but it’s also beautifully understood. The characters, their experience of the world, their difficulty in understanding, or even seeking to understand, each other. There is still a lot of mystery in the story for me. I guess I’m going to have to listen to it next.
