Today we’re going to talk about family estrangement, and the impact it undoubtedly has.
Our guest, Maggie Frank-Hsu, is a poet, essayist and editor from San Diego who runs Estranged, a Substack newsletter devoted to exploring parent, child and sibling estrangement with a focus on understanding, not blame. Her poetry has appeared in Whale Road Review, Pidgeonholes, and Beaver Magazine. She received her masters from the Columbia School of Journalism, and her reporting has appeared in Business North Carolina, Gourmet, PublishersWeekly and smithsonian.com. A former ghostwriter, she’s currently at work on her first book, a memoir.
Maggie and I have a little bit in common in that we are both estranged from our fathers. And maybe we were abandoned, too. Maggie has done her work and research on family estrangement, and comes at it from a place of non-judgment. Listen in, and be sure to subscribe to her wonderful 'stack.
