Carol Davis on Waking Up with Poems

Ted and Lindsay are joined by Carol Davis, whose novel, Restoration—which Dave Eggers has called “intimate, vivid, and deeply felt”—will be published by Rise Books later this month. A writer, researcher, and archivist, she tells us about the book, a literary novel that is also her debut, and how it grew out of a short story about a mother and daughter arguing with each other that Carol wrote a number of years ago. She then shares her best writing tip, a way to start your writing day away from the distractions of the internet and instead immersed in the cadence of language.
