Owen Lewis, A PRAYER OF SIX WINGS

Zibby interviews award-winning poet and psychiatrist Owen Lewis about A PRAYER OF SIX WINGS, a masterful, moving, and timely collection written in the wake of the October 7th attacks in Israel. Owen reflects on the heartbreak of watching global antisemitism resurge, the personal anguish of having family in Israel, and the urgent need to record this moment through poetry. He and Zibby talk about how, interwoven with headlines, personal stories, and lyrical snapshots of grief and resilience, Owen’s poems bear witness to a year of trauma and hope.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4lN9AV6Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
