Every other Thursday, the archives of the FU Review come alive with previously published poems and prose read by their authors and a little interview to match.

For our first archival episode, Dr. Ruth Wishart joins host Kelsie to discuss the formation of the FU Review and to read a piece from Issue 2. There’s incestuous Austrians (who are also great loves and who are also dead), Brexit, Haruki Murakami’s bad sex, and kids who are also poets. Gamze’s Jawbreaker piece published in Tint comes back out to play. Kelsie learns what Mid-Atlantic means and exploits Audible.

If you're a Berliner like us, or just in town, stay tuned after the episode for a few upcoming literary events in Berlin! A full list can be found below.
