Stephen was recently interviewed by Jade Miles and Hayley Jessup, the hosts of the Futuresteading podcast. Here’s what they had to say about the interview:
What a pleasure it was to interview Stephen, I felt so inspired after that chat!
Stephen is known for breaking open the marrow of language and returning it in all its poetic weight. His work on elderhood, grief, dying wise, and the making (and unmaking) of culture has touched people all over the world.
His newest book, Matrimony: Ritual, Culture, and the Heart’s Work, takes on what he calls the “mother of a culture”—the wedding. In a time when so many weddings risk becoming performances, spectacles, or non-events, Stephen asks: what would it mean to make a wedding real?
