Episode 4 - The Essence of Violence on The Written Page
Welcome to the fourth episode of The Page Podcast presented by the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame and the University Libraries at the University of Nevada, Reno. Our hosts, author and educator Mark Maynard, along with reader and educator Karen Wikander discuss literature from both sides of the page.
In this fourth episode, Mark and Karen who have been friends since middle school (and have similar chemistry to two siblings in the backseat on a long road trip), discuss violence and our relationship to it as both readers and writers. How do we process violence on the page as readers and how do we use it as writers? Do era and culture affect the representation of violence in literature?
The book Mark and Karen reference at the beginning of their conversation: Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby.

The Writer's Block - Episode #1 (June 2021)
Hey Friends! At the end of each month, we'll share a mini-episode called The Writer's Block. Use these super-short morsels to exercise your mind and home your craft. Featuring a writing prompt or exercise, each episode will take less than 3 minutes of your time. Share your work with us on The Page Podcast Facebook and/or Instagram page!
In this episode, Mark gives you a composition exercise that doesn't require a pen or pencil. Instead, scan your bookshelves and use the titles to create a sort of found story or poem. (And if you haven't listened to the first full podcast episode, check it out! Mark and Karen discuss what's on our bookshelves and what our books say about us, among other things.)
