In Episode 18, 2019 Conference presenter, classicist and novelist MADELINE MILLER sat down with SVWC Literary Director JOHN BURNHAM SCHWARTZ to recap her 2019 conference talk and discuss how Homer relates to our modern world and her role as a novelist in filling in the gaps he left on characters like Circe. This episode is now available and can be played from the SVWC website on our Podcasts page or from other public podcast platforms, including Apple, Stitcher, and Spotify.

Narrated by SVWC Literary Director John Burnham Schwartz, and in partnership with LitHub, the SVWC Beyond the Page podcast explores past conference talks and catches up with our writer alumni, weaving together writers’ ideas in a half-hour episode twice a month.
