Coffee Dates with Selena Mercuri

Conversations about books, language, art, and creative life.

After working in coffee shops for ten years, I came to love the sort of conversation that happens over a cup of coffee. These discussions are often unexpectedly revealing. Coffee Dates with Selena Mercuri brings that spirit to conversations with writers, artists, editors, translators, and other people shaping contemporary culture.

Each episode goes beyond the standard promotional interview to talk about how creative work gets made, the ideas and experiences behind it, and the questions artists are still thinking through long after the work is finished.

I’m Selena Mercuri, a writer and publishing professional. Pull up a chair and join us for coffee.
