creative unearthing podcast with emma freeman

In this episode, I talk about my the spiritual and deeply healing process of writing poetry over the last year, what I am learning from it, and share some of my deeply personal poems with prompts so you can write with them if you want to. 

Writing poetry has become a deep listening practice in silence and slowness and not knowing. It is mysterious and fascinating to me, how the words collect and assemble themselves into something that speaks so profoundly to what I have experienced in a way that I cannot touch in normal conversation. It is truly a magical and mystical process. 

I mention an amazing book by Kim Rosen called, "Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words." 

I love this quote by Pablo Neruda from his poem, "Poetry" that reads, “Poetry arrived in search of me."
