The mission of law & disorder is to expose, agitate and build a new world where all of us can thrive. But how do we get there? How do we build a world many of us have only seen in our dreams? That’s where we believe the artists come in. So, each week we feature an artist, holding down a weekly residency with us, helping us to imagine a different, more liberated world.
On today’s show, we air two of our Resistance in Residence interviews uncut for the first time.
We start with Oakland-based poet and author Lauren Wheeler. Lauren has a book of poetry out on Nomadic Press called In Between Places. In Between Places lyrically explores family mythology and the fallibility of memory. The poems act as mile markers in a Black woman’s literal and figurative journey across decades and across the country, in a search for home in different cities—and people. From a sense of longing and displacement, the collection arrives in a place of stability, resilience, and triumph.
