On Matrimony: A Conversation With Stephen Jenkinson

INTERVIEW

Interview Published on August 18, 2025

Stephen was recently interviewed by Marketting for Hippies founder and On Culture Work Substack creator, Tad Hargraves. This is what he had to say about the interview:

I read the book a few weeks ago and it’s a gorgeous work leaving the reader with a deepened ache for those cultures we may have been orphaned from so long ago and with enough clear seeds of possibility to begin to plant the better tomorrow that we will likely never live to see.

If I could do the interview over again, I’d ease in a bit more and ask questions like, “Why this book now? What’s the story of how it came about?” or “Tell me about the image you chose for the cover.”

But, instead, I launched in with an enormous question.

And so, it began in the middle of the conversation about what it is we might find in the center of matrimonial doings (and what we might not).

We ended there too.
