Summary
Are we still capable of slowing down, paying attention, and finding meaning in a world that never stops? Tune in for an inspiring discussion with Diana Gordon on her new book Loosestrife for Porcupines. Moments with Marianne Radio Show airs in the Southern California area on KMET1490AM & 98.1 FM, an ABC Talk News Radio Affiliate! https://www.kmet1490am.com Diana Gordon is the prize winning author of Nightly, at the Institute of the Possible, a finalist for the Massachusetts Book Award, and Loosestrife for Porcupines, 2026 finalist for the Blue Light Prize. Her past includes working as a classical pianist, teaching, and performing chamber music; as a political activist, and as an equestrian, schooling dressage mounts with Olympic team members. After a major course correction, Diana dedicated herself to becoming a writer. 10,000 hours later, she’s now a novelist, poet, and creative non-fiction writer. As an editor at Hedgerow Books, Diana midwifed the publication of ten poetry collections, several of which were honored as finalists for national awards. Short works have been published widely, in journals such as The Cincinnati Review, Poetry Daily, and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet—a zine by Small Beer Press. Awards include, but are not limited to, a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship in fiction and Glimmer Train’s First Prize for her short story, “The Work of Hunters is Another Thing." www.dmgordon.com Order on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00MQKdiZ To learn more about interview opportunities contact us at: https://www.mariannepestana.com
