In this fourth episode of Beneath the Surface, I begin a two-part conversation about how The Ivory Pinion is written. This episode explores the book’s double structure, the density of its imagery, the role of the natural world, and the reading state I wanted to create in the reader’s body as well as their mind.
Production note: This episode uses AI-assisted background music and AI-based voice enhancement. The script, narration, and editorial direction are my own.
