Our guest today is Maggie Nelson, an author and academic whose deeply personal and analytical writing has covered such topics as gender, sexuality, and freedom. She’s published nine books of poetry, essays, and memoir, including The Argonauts. Many of her books combine or re-imagine genres, like her 2009 work Bluets, a collection of 240 short pieces – ranging from the philosophical to the lyrical – about the color blue. On June 1st, 2024, Nelson came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco where she spoke to Frances Richard about the themes in her newest essay collection, Like Love.
