Genesis - An Illustration of Jewish Identity: Leanne Grabel

Listen in as Leanne Grabel joins host Joshua Rose on his podcast Genesis: Conversations About Jewish Identity and Culture.

“This week I have the pleasure of talking with a graduate of Art/Lab's second cohort, illustrator, humorist, observer of life, and Jewish identity navigator Leanne Grabel.

Leanne Grabel is a writer, illustrator, performer  and has written and produced numerous spoken-word multi-media shows. Leanne was the 2020 recipient of Soapstone's Bread and Roses Award for contributions to women's literature in the Pacific Northwest. Brontosaurus Illustrated was published in 2022 by The Opiate Books; My Husband’s Eyebrows was published in 2022 by The Poetry Box; and Old with Jokes was published in 2023 by RuthieRocks Press. 

We talk about her Jewish upringing, how Jewish ideas find their way into her work, her new and wonderful piece "Waiting to Hate....Maybe" about life in the Trumpian US, and a lot more. Enjoy the conversation.”
