About this episode
Camille Bacon discusses the power of criticism, Black feminist constellations, and her metrics for success in publishing.
This episode features Camille Bacon, a Chicago-based writer, editor, and the co-founder of Jupiter Magazine . In a far-ranging conversation with Sky Goodden, Bacon discusses the potential and power of a “criticism in the commons,” the Black feminist constellations she’s participating in more broadly, and, as a publisher, her metrics for success. “ For me, success would be someone coming through the doors of our publication coming out the other side and being more audacious about what they demand.” Momus: The Podcast is edited by Jacob Irish, with production assistance from Chris Andrews.
