In this episode, and as part of the Sealey challenge, Linda interviews poet and scholar, Chantel Lavoie, about her love for the poetry of Margaret Atwood - in particular, the collections Morning in the Burned House (Penguin Random House), The Door (Penguin Random House), and Dearly (HarperCollins).
Lavoie is herself a poet, as Linda notes at the outset of the episode: she published Where The Terror Lies with Quattro Books in 2012 and This is About Angels, Women, and Men with Manfield Press in 2019. Linda reflects on her first meeting with Lavoie, several years ago, when she had won the Books in Canada Prize, and cites from Lavoie's poems that won that year.
Lavoie and Linda also invent a new cocktail - called the \"Atwood martini.\"
