Adi, i think it sometimes takes a long time to even know what your gut's telling you if you're in a kind of failing state. And following the feeling ad min a, for me, was always like, what feels good? Like, does running feel good? Then i maing to do of that. Does writing feel good, then i'm going to do more of that. If it's taking a long walk, or writing, or, you know, dancing like crazy by yourself in your kitchen with music turned up that you love, whatever that thing is,.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

This week Katherine chats to Maggie Smith, poet, writer and editor from Columbus, Ohio.

You may know Maggie's tremendous work via her poem 'Good Bones', which she has a difficult relationship with. The poem is often referenced in times of crisis, which she thinks of as a 'disaster barometer' - she break downs this fascinating dissonance in her chat with Katherine, which reaches a wide range of topics including metpahor, the 'tasting' approach to culture, her own range of published works, America's history of being unsafe for many, being honest with children, how younger people understand pronouns so well, the divorce whisperer, prose, how the content dictates the container, the act of physically writing on paper, seasons and the beauty in the decay of Fall. So much to inspire and invigorate. A delight.
