Be More Poet Sue Heatherington

Exploring a different way of seeing from a little valley in South West Wales with me, Sue Heatherington.
In this episode, we use a poem I wrote earlier in March to explore our sense of the edge, what we might find there, and why we need travelling companions.

Exploring a different way of seeing from a little valley in South West Wales with me, Sue Heatherington.
In this episode, I explore how the sense of place shapes what we see. In particular, the characteristics the valley shares with other pockets of temperate rainforest on the western flanks of Britain.
How Spring emerges here is distinctive and speaks to the transitions in our lives, whether through the seasons or in the significant turning points we encounter. Because becoming is a practice of life.
This episode also marks the shift to a fortnightly rhythm.

Exploring a different way of seeing in conversation with Chris Matthews. Chris has a way with words that expresses his deep love for the poetic, which he shares generously and graciously with others.
Join us for a beautiful and thoughtful conversation around three of Chris’ poems, that I know will touch you.
All three poems were written for the Presence Project, and each is captured in a full chapter of the project, including film, music and words:

The words for The Whisper are included in my blog for 5th April 2024: Hearing whispers that make worlds.
