What is love? And how can we love better if we haven’t first come to an agreement on what love even means? On this episode, Elle and her guest, Chicago poet and Hoorf! editor Ricki Cummings, dig into their shared affinity for bell hooks’ All About Love. Their wide-ranging conversation touches on the frustrations of domestic labor, lonely chickens, and giving our children a better template for understanding loving relationships.
