What this episode covers

Sayima . Stillness & Poetry I’m Sayima, a Tanzanian-born writer currently living in France. My work is rooted in emotional healing, identity and the quiet power of softness in a performance-driven world. My debut poetry collection, ‘heart based’, reflects my own experience, from navigating cultural and religious expectations of my country of origin to rebuilding a sense of inner belonging across cultures, languages and countries that I moved to. These poems began as journal entries written in moments that later became blessings in disguise, leading me to question who I truly was if I let go of everything that once defined me. I’ve shared ‘heart based’ through a tour across France, in English-language bookstores and at literary festivals like La Comédie du Livre in Montpellier (the biggest literary festival in the country), where I connected with readers from around the world. That experience showed me how the book’s themes resonate with people across different cultures. My hope is for ‘heart based’ to spark a meaningful dialogue and connection, inviting listeners to engage with its themes. Whenever preferred, it would be lovely to send you a copy for your honest reflection and review. Let me know what works for you. Looking forward to hearing from you. Learn more about your ad choices.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) The History of China Podcast Ibnul Jaif Farabi / Light Knot Studios What does the world's oldest continuous civilization, with over 3,000 years of recorded history, have to teach us about power, philosophy, innovation, and human nature?
