MS: They are! One of the best parts about writing for me is when I surprise myself-when something happens in a poem or essay that I didn’t see coming. I talked to Margo Price via email about everything from her writing process to the importance of home-and all the things that are bringing her joy right now. You can hear the person behind the prose. Price’s writing is conversational, lyrical, and above all, human. Maybe We’ll Make It explores the balance of art and life, the ups and downs of “making it,” profound love, and profound loss. The writer and woman we find in the memoir is the same person we find in her music: candid and vulnerable with the ability to make you laugh with one line and make you cry with the next. And in 2022 she published a memoir, Maybe We’ll Make It. She’s played with a mind-boggling list of legends, from Willie Nelson, to Bob Weir, to John Prine, to the late Loretta Lynn. Since her critically acclaimed debut, Margo has gone on to record three more solo albums, the latest of which, Strays, is out January 13. I remember when I first heard Margo Price’s Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, her debut album released on Third Man Records in 2016, and I’ve been a huge fan-of her voice, her songwriting, and her fiercely independent (read: badass) spirit ever since.
