Hands out of the sunroof during a sunset drive. Sprinting through the city late at night. If there was any artist who could capture the free-flying fear and fresh independence of adolescence in the 2010s, it was Lorde. Now, 28, the New Zealand pop star is returning to her roots with her latest single, “What Was That.” Released on April 24, this single marks her first solo track in four years. The track, produced by Jim E-Stack and Dan Nigro, begins quietly.

Journalist Jeremy Young uses stories to bridge political ‘Fault Lines’

1 month ago | emorywheel.com | Hunter Buchheit

Storytelling has never looked the way it does now. For most young people, the days of getting the news from a paper picked up at a local newsstand or sitting down to watch a few hours of nightly news on cable television.

I want to dedicate the film “A Brighter Summer Day” (1991), directed by Edward Yang, to my family in Penghu Islands, Taiwan. Penghu Islands, where my mother grew up, is an archipelago of tiny islands in the heart of the Taiwan Strait.

Written relief: Attendees discover poetry’s healing power at Three Poets event

Feb 5, 2025 | emorywheel.com | Hunter Buchheit

Steam curled from cups of hot tea. Warm introductions and long-awaited reunions drifted through the room. Three poets stood together in the corner of the Michael C. Carlos Museum’s Ackerman Hall — catching up, complimenting each other’s work and preparing for their joint reading, acutely named “Three Poets: A Reading with Victoria Chang, E. Hughes and Lauren K. Watel.” A few minutes later Deanna Sirlin holding the microphone at the front of the room.
