Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with accomplished writer and poet Lucille Lang Day. We get into her new book, The Cosmos and Me: New and Selected Poems, and a long, well-lived life devoted to writing, poetry, memoir and storytelling.
Lucille's memoir, Married at Fourteen: A True Story (2012), received the 2013 PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Literary Award and was a finalist for the 2013 Northern California Book Award in Creative Nonfiction. Her life story and literary work offer a deeply personal look at growing up, family, resilience, identity and the power of putting experience into words.
Lucille also spent six years as a science writer and administrator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and 17 years as director of the Hall of Health. Rebellious and willful as a teenager, Lucy married for the first time at age 14 and gave birth at 15. Today, she is the mother of two grown daughters and grandmother of four, living in Oakland, California.
In this conversation, we explore The Cosmos and Me, poetry, memoir, science writing, family, aging, creativity and the many chapters of a remarkable life in literature.
