Episode 19: Rachel Tanner

Rachel Tanner (she/her) is a poet and prose author who writes the monthly column Extra Lives over at Video Dame. She joined me on this week’s Kritiqal Care to read a few of her poems and talk about how she got started writing video game poetry. It’s a nice, chill episode, so grab a cup of tea and nestle up under a blanket as this episode tucks you in.

You can follow Rachel @rickit, and find her writing on Video Dame.
