POST MORTEM: Creative Forensics for the Long-Form Writer is a podcast for those deep in the slow, hard, and winding parts of making something big. Host KP Kaszubowski talks with biographers, novelists, screenwriters, and poets, and not for quick hacks or top-five lists, but for the intimate, idiosyncratic histories of their projects. Here is Episode Zero, the introduction! I hope these conversations will keep you company in the middle of the process, when the map is unclear and the finish line feels far away.

A poet, filmmaker, playwright, and writing instructor, KP’s debut poetry collection somnieeee was published in 2019 by Vegetarian Alcoholic Press, and her debut feature film Ringolevio premiered in 2020 at Dances With Films in Los Angeles. Her work has appeared (or will appear) in American Poetry Review, TriQuarterly, Juked, pity bath and elsewhere. She lives close enough to Lake Michigan to pretend she can hear it.
