46: Jenny Zhang: Fluids Pt1

April 03, 2017

"I feel exposed by how wet I can be." Jenny Zhang's poetry is delightfully obscene, so it's no surprise she describes herself as "a very goopy person." In this episode, Tina and Jenny (the brilliant author of chapbooks, essays, and an upcoming book of short stories called Sour Heart) explore all the fluids the human body can produce, from spit to sweat to piss to cum. Along the way, they investigate the phenomenon of dirty panty sniffing, gushers candy, and the erotic potential of words like drained. Warning: this is one of the most visceral and frankly disgusting episodes of YAPIT!

Jenny Zhang is the author of Dear Jenny, We Are All Find (Octopus Books), Hags (Guillotine), The Selected Jenny Zhang (Emily Books), and the forthcoming Sour Heart (Lenny). She was born in Shanghai and raised in Queens.
