WORDS ON A WIRE: Nicole Georges

Daniel talks with Nicole Georges, author of the graphic memoir, "Calling Dr. Laura."  Daniel is unfamiliar with the genre, and Nicole tells him about other acclaimed graphic memoirs, such as Art Spiegelman's "Maus" and Alison Bechdel's "Fun Home."  Nicole also talks about the writing process and the lessons she's learned from her mistakes.   http://nicolegeorges.com

Ben reads Stanley Kunitz's "The Layers" for this week's Poem of the Week.

And, in this week's Poetic License, Daniel takes a page from Nicole Georges and shares a selection from his memoir (which is still a work in progress). 

Aired May 26, 2013.
