The Clearing with Katherine May

Maggie Smith on the mutual reflection of poetry


Listen Later

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.
