In this episode, I talk to Hayley Singer about her new book, Abandon Every Hope: Essays for the Dead.

We talk about critical animal studies, writing from the body, and the interconnectedness of forms like poetry and essay.

The music in this episode is Mark Isaacs’s composition “Have one more” played by Simon Tedeschi, for the ABC recording “Tender Earth”.

TW: references to violence involving non-human animals.
