Words by Winter The Body's Bright Wailing, with Danusha Lameris
How does someone survive a childhood spent with a sociopathic parent? My friend Sarah, who was the inspiration behind the character of Sesame in my new novel, not only survived but emerged triumphant, and she agreed to be interviewed for the podcast. Featuring the beautiful poetry of Danusha Lameris.
Words by Winter: Conversations, reflections, and poems about the passages of life. Because it’s rough out there, and we have to help each other through.
Original theme music for our show is by Dylan Perese. Artwork by Mark Garry. Today’s poem, Bonfire Opera, by Danusha Lameris, is from her new book by the same name. It was read by Luke O’Brien with permission of the poet and the University of Pittsburgh Press. For more of Danusha Lameris’s gorgeous work, please check out her website, danushalameris.com.
