Ocean's Love to Ireland
#OceansLovetoIreland
In this series of posts, I play off of (and pay homage to) the Seamus Heaney poem, “Ocean’s Love to Ireland.” I explore the wildness of the Wild Atlantic Way, the rewilding of the land, its people and its mythology. I’m sparked by the urgency and agency of the Irish, easy to catch, hard to hold, as captured in his last line, “She fades from their somnolent clasp/Into ringlet-breath and dew,/The ground possessed and repossessed.”
Ms. Persephone
Muriel Rukeyser once famously said, "What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.” Ms. Persephone is a newsletter from the life of a fully expressed woman person who is both ingenue and oracle, tough and tender.
Includes MS. PERSEPHONE’S KITCHEN | Stories, songs and soul-infused food from the kitchen of Ms. Persephone by the author of Searching for Persephone.
Boundless
When you have become no one, how do you become someone again? That's the question at the heart of my becoming-of-age memoir, Boundless, which publishes Fall 2024. Here, I post about how to reinvent yourself and regain your emotional agility when you enter the next phase of life. #BoundlessAreOurDreams #BoundlessIsOurLove
