Dantiel Moniz on Milk Blood Heat

“I am constantly analyzing things, which can be a very bad thing if you can’t get it under control,” Dantiel Moniz. Her debut collection of stories, Milk Blood Heat, “ depicts the sultry lives of Floridians in intergenerational tales that contemplate human connection, race, womanhood, inheritance, and the elemental darkness in us all.” On this episode of The Literary Life, Dantiel talks with Mitchell about writing at the age of six, how her system of observation informs her writing, her stories and the characters that drive them. This episode was recorded in Miami and Jacksonville.

“Like snow in the Sunshine State—“There was a sense of betrayal in it. Like how dare Florida, of all places, try and turn a season”—the short stories in Moniz’s first collection constantly surprise. In unvarnished, visceral prose, Moniz uses the “swampy stench” of Florida as a backdrop to explore the internal and external perfidies of womanhood.”
