To what extent can the natural world help inform our inner lives? More importantly can it paradoxically irritate and soothe some of the wounds we've managed to accrue? Séan Hewitt certainly seems to think it can.

This week on the podcast I take a look at his poem Two Reflections from his collection Tongues of Fire. I take a look at the masterful way that he harnesses nature and the world of symbols and imagery that accompany to work his way through one of life's most difficult experiences: The loss of a parent.
