    Poetry & Healing: Author Elieen Porzuczek

    ⚠️ Content note: This episode includes discussions of trauma, survival, death, and healing. In this episode, Kim sits down with author Eileen Porzuczek to talk about her poetic memoir, Memento Mori, and the deeply personal journey behind it. Eileen shares her powerful story of surviving a ceiling collapse and how that life-changing experience shaped her writing, her perspective, and her relationship with poetry. We talk about the meaning behind Memento Mori — “remember you must die” — and how confronting mortality can change the way we look at life. We also dive into the transformative power of poetry, processing trauma through storytelling, the vulnerability that comes with writing personal experiences, and the emerging world of eco-horror poetry. Eileen gives us insight into her creative process and why intentionality and connection between the writer and reader matter so much. This conversation is raw, thoughtful, and a beautiful reminder that sometimes the hardest stories to tell can become the ones that help us heal and connect with others.
