“The way I like to look at language sometimes works better with poetry than with fiction.” In a recent video interview, Jac Jemc discusses growing up in Chicago, the literary community, and her forthcoming collection A Different Bed Every Time. You can watch it below, or on YouTube. (Also, there are some excellent bookshelves on display partway through, which is always a plus.)
