National Book Award finalist Kimberly King Parsons has a new work coming out today, and it's rooted in personal experience. We Were the Universe follows a young mother struggling to process grief after the loss of a loved one. KMUW's Beth Golay spoke with her about the story and the craft behind it.

Plus more on these stories:

  • Planned Parenthood’s Kansas affiliate will open a new clinic in Pittsburg this fall. It comes as health care providers in Kansas report overwhelming demand for abortions from out-of-state patients.
  • Kansas’ Good Samaritan law will include drug overdoses once it goes into effect later this year.
  • Authorities continue to investigate a set of remains found in rural Sumner County.
  • The historic Dunbar Theater will host a screening this summer of a documentary about black gospel music in Kansas City.
  • The Kansas City Chiefs will open their 2024 football season at home against Baltimore.
  • A hearing to review the $1 million bond of one of the accused Super Bowl parade shooters is postponed until June 10.
