31 - Reanna Valentine Poetry To Your Ears
-
- Books
Listen to this episode if you’re interested in learning about how poetry can help cope with grief, Reanna’s relationship with their nan, the influence that Carolyn has had in Reanna becoming a poet, sharing poems about queerness and sex to their grandmother, editing the filthy poems, the process of editing and pairing poems written by two authors, what it means to perform poems written by someone else, and more!
About Fragmented Light: Written across the span of 50 years, these poems passed between a grandmother and grandchild are twined together, becoming an enlightening conversation on family, love and loss.
'A meditation on escaping a marriage, on escaping womanhood, on being guided through life by the sea and the forest. Salty water might not be pleasant in tea, but it makes for a place to swim." Loulou - Author of Pink Goo
'This collection weaves together the nostalgic and the immediate to create a love letter that bends time itself... For those who fleetingly inhabit our lives and for the family we can always lean on.' Kofi Achina
