Gabrielle Bates discussed her debut poetry collection with Shondaland.

"Poetry is so coy. In my experience, it has a way of saying, “F--k your intentions,” and winking. Then it reveals things, if I let it. I’m vexed by this aspect of poetry, but it’s also what makes poetry so valuable to me."


Bandcamp Daily profiled musician Kristen Oppenheim.

“I first started working with just narratives of my own, just stories that I was repeating, and recording stories of my own,” Oppenheim explains over the phone from her home in Park Slope, Brooklyn. “In the beginning, I would reference songs that were coming on the radio, that I was hearing in my own imagination, along with writing my own stories to record; throughout the whole ‘90s, I did that.”
