Summary
Comedy writer Lynsday Rush (the poet behind @maryoliversdrunkcousin!) joins Zibby to discuss A BIT MUCH, her tender, smart, and utterly hilarious debut poetry collection—a joyful exploration of the female experience through big feelings and hard-won wisdom. Lyndsay shares how her Instagram poetry took off during COVID, leading to viral posts, a growing following, and eventually a book deal—all while pregnant! She and Zibby discuss some of their favorite poems, unpacking deeper themes of body image, self-acceptance, and societal pressures. Finally, Lyndsay talks about the humor in her poetry, her advocacy for body neutrality, and her ideas for future projects!
