Origin Story

Gina Nutt (Night Rooms) on Horror and the Power of What Goes Unsaid

Episode Summary

Gina Nutt is the author of the essay collection Night Rooms (Two Dollar Radio) and the poetry collection Wilderness Champion (Gold Wake Press). She earned her MFA from Syracuse University. Her writing has appeared in Cosmonauts Avenue, Joyland, Ninth Letter, and other publications. We talk about her relationship to horror movies and how that's informed her approach to writing. Gina's writing is constantly finding a way to make real what goes unsaid - and to make essays that, not unlike a horror movie, revolve around a thing that may never appear onscreen. Hosted by Phillip Russell and Ben Thorp
