"Poetry...reconciles two aspects of mind that are otherwise sundered in most of our waking lives: the making of sense and the making of music, the rational and the spiritual. Poetry reconciles two severed aspects of ourselves." --Mark Tredinnick
Mark Tredinnick Heals with Poetry
Poet Mark Tredinnick is the recipient of multiple international poetry prizes, who experienced a period of depression or "spiritual catastrophe," when he lost his moorings. In this interview he explains how poetry helped him find himself again through his "welcoming of the wholeness of my life, including the sorrow and the pain."
BE THE CHANGE
Mark's work has been described as "the poetry of witness: small moments, epiphanies, weather, birds, children, the divine comedy of everyday life..."Why not stretch yourself and write about the simple things in your life, in poetry or prose, or share this "soul work" in a gathering of family and friends.
