Millie Tullis

After uncovering complex and, at times, troubling family history, Millie Tullis did what she does best: she wrote about it in verse. She joins Beth Brumer Reeve to discuss her new collection, These Saints are Stones.

We talk about the process of researching her family history and what it means to sit with the unknown—how gaps in the archive can be approached with both truth and imagination. Millie shares how writing this collection became a healing act, helping her confront her roots and make sense of inherited history, faith, and identity.

We also explore the balance between vulnerability and restraint: how do you write honestly about family while deciding what to protect, if anything?

A thoughtful conversation for poetry lovers and anyone interested in Mormon or family history.
