Episode 5: Simone Kearney
Description
We're excited to release the fifth episode of More Friends. Tryn talks with alumni fellow Simone Kearney (21), an artist and writer who lives and works in New York and who, at the time of the interview, had just brought a beautiful new book, *Days*, into the world, published by Belladonna Press. Tryn and Simone talk about the politics of a period, thinking with your hands, and the "helium of thought." Tune in!
