  Daniel & Tim talk with Mecca Jamilah Sullivan, whose collection of stories "Blue Talk & Love," has drawn critical praise.  She talks about the true stories that inspired the collection, and about her use of multiple perspectives within individual stories.  Music also plays a big role in these stories, and the title of the collection is drawn from Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" (heard in the closing of the show).  http://www.meccajamilahsullivan.com/
