Rachel S. Donahue again interviews Ben Palpant (creator of Brightwing Tales) to learn how a poet approaches a foray into children’s literature. Ben is our first return guest on the podcast (you may remember him from Season 3: Episode 9 where we discussed his poetry book, An Axe for the Frozen Sea). Ben is back after completing a new work of children’s literature in the whimsically adventurous tradition of Wind in the Willows, Watership Down and Winnie the Pooh.
Mentioned in this episode:
* Brightwing Tales 1: Mole’s Misadventure - Ben Palpant
* PREORDER (May 1st) - Brightwing Tales 2: Acorn’s Misadventure - Ben Palpant
* “the Holy Ghost over the bent / world broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.” God’s Grandeur, Gerard Manley Hopkins
