あらすじ・解説
What good is a poem? Is poetry really a tool for transformation? And what about poetry and the spirit of systemic as well as personal change?
In this conversation, Mark Vernon and Josiane Smith explore the ways in which poetry offers us an education in the energetics of our times, how it can be used in surprising places to console and challenge, how there is a poetic way of life as well as writerly practice, and how poetry can become part of the mundane everyday.
Josiane reads two of her poems, "The Nightingale" and "Do we have enough faith?” which can be found here - .rockpa.org/poetry-philanthropy-and-climate-action-opening-reflections-at-the-skoll-world-forum/. She reads from Audre Lorde’s essay, “Poetry Is Not A Luxury”. She explains how poetry can be an invocation and Mark and Josiane hope that the podcast itself shares in that soulful emergence.
Josiane is a poet, philanthropic advisor and Quaker trustee. For more see - https://www.linkedin.com/in/josianesmith
