Today, as the final installment in our Edges series, I am joined by writer, poet, memoirist, teacher, yogi, activist, and mother - Nadia Colburn.

Nadia has recently released her newest book of poetry, I Say the Sky - and y’all know how much I love exploring the intersection of poetry and mindfulness. 

As a start, I want to share one of the review blurbs about Nadia’s newest book because I feel that it so perfectly sums up her work:

"From the opening poem and on through this glorious book, Nadia Colburn strikes the difficult balance between celebrating the splendor of the world we inhabit and acknowledging the grief and devastation that none of us can escape. As much a book of love songs as a book of elegies, I Say the Sky is a heart opening and mind sharpening collection." ~Camille T. Dungy

I couldn’t agree more.

In our conversation today, Nadia,who feels like an old friend, and I discuss:

• Writing from the body
• Agency in times of distress
• Meeting edge places in a state of opening rather than contraction

We talk of generative, supportive action and of course we explore mindful writing practices to support ourselves in times of change. Grab your journal and join us!
