i've been trying to get down to the beach at sunset. The skies have been really clear, so the sunsets are spectacular. It always feels at this time in the afternoon like its charging up with the last of the sun. And after it goes down, there will be this glow as if it's luminescent. So lovely.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

This week Katherine chats to Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of ‘World Of Wonders’ and more.

An uplifting, soulful and inspiring chat with Aimee and Katherine, beginning with a foundation of wonder and never dropping the ball once.

Moving from prose to poetry and immediately feeling boundaries being lifted, Aimee has put out some truly valuable work into the world and this is a perfect opportunity to get to the heart of it all.

As always, it branches out into some rich areas including the juxtaposition of memoir and nature, enforced patriotism as a child, the gradual introduction of cultural reference while growing up, seeing the restrictive attitudes of the 80’s dissolving through generations, examples of harnessing the outdoors and nature from her parents and her geography being shaped by their professions, making your own entertainment, moments of wonder and how children can help trigger them in adults through example, the luxury of time in enjoying the outdoors and so much more to enrich your day.
