15. Mira Ptacin - The Love You Have

*To Note: ALONG THE SEAM was formerly named The Memory Generation. In this first season, you will hear Rachael use that title in the intro and outro.* -- Mira Ptacin is a writer, educator and activist who lives on an island in Maine with her husband, two children and a whole bunch of rescue animals. She teaches creative writing at Colby College, leads memoir workshops to incarcerated women at the Maine Correctional Center, and is a frequent contributor to the New York Times. She has written two books - The In-Betweens: The Spiritualists, Mediums, and Legends of Camp Etna as well as the award-winning memoir Poor Your Soul. She describes herself as writing about ‘the uterus and the American Dream’ and has written extensively about grief, motherhood and family storytelling. In this conversation, we dig into Mira's 2016 memoir Poor Your Soul . The book weaves together the story of the loss of her brother when she was just a teenager and then the loss of an unborn child when she was in her twenties. Mira & Rachael recorded this conversation on October 9, 2022 in Portland, Maine. You can read the transcript of our conversation here. • If you’d like more from Rachael Cerrotti:
