ICYMI: Jesmyn Ward on Grief, Hope, and the Art of Witness
In her latest collection of essays, two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward reflects on the healing power of storytelling. Speaking to Walter Isaacson, Ward looks back on the fundamental role of her maternal grandmother in the forging of Ward's writing philosophy of "telling it straight, telling it all." The author also discusses her upbringing in the poor Mississippi town of De Lisle, and her own place in the lineage of Mississippi's literary figures. Ward joined the show from Pass Christian, Mississippi.
