Description

In this episode, Laura and MM talk about:

  • how Laura went from an marking/article style of writing to poetry
  • processing posting what might be perceived as “controversial” poetic works
  • why poetry is better at holding complexity than other writing forms
  • the difference between transparency and vulnerability
  • how the Gospel roots us in hope in our creative practices
  • “Living twice” as writers

At the end, Laura will read “How Eve Felt,” one of her personal favorites of a poem.
