Tree Season

I've recorded one of the essays that you'll find in my upcoming book:

Housewife Blues: dispatches from the garden of broken things

I gave it a slideshow. It is seasonally appropriate in the moment I am posting this. "Wherever I go I see conifers strapped to the tops of cars, destined for lights and heirloom finery. All will end up desiccated, stripped and discarded sometime in January. Clearly I have mixed feelings about Christmas trees."
