She has been called the poet laurate of the ordinary by HuffPost and the voice of a generation by O Magazine. She is an accomplished columnist with essays in O, The Oprah Magazine, Glamour, and Good Housekeeping. I've been a huge reader of hers for ages so this is an extra special interview and getting to talk to her about this deep, personal, and essential essay collection was a true gift!!
