Death's Honesty - Quinoa Blessed

What this episode covers

A poem I wrote nine years ago in which I complete the process of grieving my mother's death by reliving the whole grief process in 25 minutes in front of an audience and re-emerging whole at the end, ready to engage with life again. The poem has fresh relevance for me today as I grieve the loss of a loving and intimate relationship and again delve deep into the healing power of a real winter. Recorded at an intimate gathering in my home in Melbourne 2017-08-02. Written and first performed in Auckland 2008-05-20. Photo by Giles Hunt.
