EPISODE 37 - Suzi Barrett: Crossing Swords with Eleanor Church-Wallace Boyd-Foster

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Welcome to Crossing Swords, the penultimate patchwork of puzzling ponderance with your host Eleanor Church-Wallace Boyd-Foster (Suzi Barrett)! Helping Eleanor to think inside the box this week is Jill Traci, local poet, woman, and advocate from Winnetka Illinois. Jill opens up about the inspiration behind her poems including “Dating A Ghost,” we hear a selected reading from Jill’s anthology “Shopping List,” and both Eleanor and Jill sew their minds together as they create crossword clues during “Get A Clue.” Later, Traci Reardon stops by to offer her advice on burping, snuggling, and more to her Twitter followers in another edition of “Help Me, Rhonda.”
