Episode notes

amy, i just want to return to a lovely, joyous bit of your bork towards the end at your wedding. I think what that really says is we shouldn't be precious about our joy yoe,. And i love that you made that connection, that that girl who was so ashamed of peacocks grew up to be somebody who had her at her wedding. It took me right back to peacock's again, like everybody, beautiful saries and bright colors. But then this image of you all dancing the macarana togethera ha, ha, ha.

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.
