Julie Phillips - the Baby on the Fire Escape

In conversation with Julie Phillips, author of the “The Baby on the Fire Escape: Creativity, Motherhood, and the Mind-Body Problem, she explores with Dr. Christine Forte Klotz her writing on the shifting terrain where motherhood and creativity converge, about seeking to strike a balance between creative work and motherhood. About writers & artists who left their children and those who stayed, and all the societal judgements and struggles around this. Fascinating not only for the insights into the lives of mothers historically but also for examining how we too make these choices around balance.

 

Julie Philips is an award-winning biographer, book critic, and the author of The Baby on the Fire Escape: Creativity, Mothering, and the Mind Baby Problem.
