    The word "poetry" is often used as a metaphor. Many see the art form as something from the past, associate it with academics or think of it as unapproachable, it is none of those things. Poetry is alive and well, and in North Carolina, it's promoted by the state's poet laureate Jaki Shelton Green.

    In this episode of Medium Lady Talks, Erin sits down with poet, grief coach, and tarot reader Anna Jollymore to explore what it means to slow down, feel deeply, and create from the fire within. Anna is the author of Words for Becoming, a stunning debut collection that gazes unflinchingly at the shadow side of personal transformation. Together, Erin and Anna unpack how poetry can help us process grief, rest our overworked minds, and reconnect with our inner voice in a world that rewards constant doing. This conversation continues Erin's Phone Free Fall series, inviting listeners to put down their phones and pick up something slower, quieter, and infinitely more real — reflection, creativity, and the sacred art of becoming. Key Topics Discussed How poetry makes space for emotions we usually rush past Using writing and creativity as tools for grief and transformation What happens when we stop numbing uncertainty with our phones The connection between metaphor, mindfulness, and real rest How poetry and tarot can ground us in embodied self-awareness The beauty of sincerity, authenticity, and imperfection in creative work Guest Bio Anna Jollymore (she/they) is a Midwestern-based author, teacher, grief expert, and professional tarot reader. Her debut poetry collection, Words for Becoming, explores the sacred tension between loss and renewal — and the ways grief can shape us into something new. Anna is also a certified Grief Recovery Method coach and facilitator who helps others make meaning through creative and spiritual practice.

    Let's talk about the elephant in the room, and the 5 questions you MUST ask your next lover. Leonarda Minutillo is a poet, writer, teacher, mom, and speaker (even in ASL). She studied at York University in Toronto with an Honours BA with Physical Education /Psychology; B.Ed at University of Toronto; Deaf Ed at York University; and then, with an International Rotary Scholarship attended Gallaudet University in WDC, the only university in the world tailored to Deaf students. It was a dream come true. Leonarda is now making a big career shift slowly leaving the classroom and stepping into the role of writer and poet where she has not only found great healing but also a long-awaited connection to her intuition. After publishing her first poetry book, "The Day I Bought a Teddy Bear and a Vibrator", Leonarda says the whole process has been incredibly transformational. In episode 608 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what inspired Leonarda to start writing poetry and how that helped to reclaim her voice, how learning to listen to her intuition changed the trajectory of her life, how college students can channel creativity to heal from heartbreak or self-doubt, how she defines self-love in a world where people often seek validation from others, what are the 5 conscious questions to ask a potential lover so you can take care of yourself, what is the P.I.E. Principle, how studying at Gallaudet University shaped her perspective on communication and connection, how young people learn to see endings as beginnings, what role does community play in healing and self-discovery, how transitioning from teaching to writing and speaking full time taught her courage, and what advice she would give her younger self.

    How the Bible Speaks When You're Mentally Hurting: Finding God in Every Genre

    When silence and solitude fail, Scripture still speaks. In this heartfelt conversation, Dave Quak and Jess Quak explore how the Bible connects us to God when our minds and emotions feel heavy. From poetic laments to prophetic promises, discover how every part of God's Word can bring peace, perspective, and presence.What We Cover1. Why Genres Matter When You're Struggling Understanding the Bible's genres helps you read with clarity, find the right voice for your situation, and avoid misusing verses that were never meant to weigh you down.2. Psalms (Poetry): Naming Feelings & Finding Language for Pain Psalm 42 becomes a mirror for your soul—moving from dryness to desire, from ache to worship. Poetry helps name what hurts and opens a path toward healing.3. Narrative: Solidarity with Imperfect Saints Elijah, David, Jonah, and Esther show that God's promises are stronger than our failures. Their stories remind us we're not alone when we feel messy or misunderstood.4. Wisdom Literature: Safeguarding Your Mind Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes teach timing, boundaries, and relational grace—how to respond with wisdom when life feels chaotic.5. Prophetic Books: God's Call, Compassion & Comfort From Isaiah 61 to Hosea, we see God's relentless pursuit of the brokenhearted. Prophecy invites us to pray for mercy and trust in His plan for restoration.6. The Gospels: Meeting Jesus in Real Life Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each show a different facet of the same Saviour—personal, powerful, and present. For the anxious heart, Jesus remains the centre of hope.7. Apocalyptic Texts: Hope Beyond Fear Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation—visions written to persecuted people. They're not about panic but perseverance: the final word is still love, not fear.8. The Big Takeaway Therapy and medication matter. But Scripture is the one place you can always meet God's voice. When your mind is hurting, His Word is still alive and waiting.Timestamps00:00 Intro: when solitude doesn't work 03:15 Why Bible genres matter for mental health 04:27 Psalms & Psalm 42 – naming your feelings 08:39 “Why, my soul, are you downcast?” 11:06 Narrative – imperfect saints & solidarity 16:05 Wisdom literature – mental wellbeing guardrails 20:36 Prophetic books – context & comfort 25:16 Gospels – Jesus for every personali☀️ CONNECT with Sunburnt Souls Discover more from Sunburnt Souls — a Christian mental health podcast sharing real stories of faith, hope, and healing at sunburntsouls.com.

    649. This week we chat with Leah Payne about her book, God Gave Rock and Roll To You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music. We focus especially on the role of the family of Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Mickey Gilley in the history of Rock and Roll. Her book chronicles the confluence of evangelical, Pentecostal, and charismatic networks through the lens of Contemporary Christian Music, or CCM. The book indexes American evangelicalism's political and social aspirations as seen through its cultural intermediaries: the youth group leaders, non-profit groups, industry executives, and parents who contributed to what was morally permissible and economically profitable in CCM.  Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

On this now leaped and twisted a more indescribable horde of human abnormality than any but a Sime or an Angarola could paint. Void of clothing, this hybrid spawn were braying, bellowing, and writhing about a monstrous ring-shaped bonfire; in the centre of which, revealed by occasional rifts in the curtain of flame, stood a great granite monolith some eight feet in height; on top of which, incongruous in its diminutiveness, rested the noxious carven statuette."

    Abbasid History Podcast

    Farīd al-Dīn Abū Ḥamid Muḥammad ʿAṭṭār lived and died in Nishapur. Though he was little known beyond his city as a poet, his enduring legacy can perhaps be summarised by Rumi: Attar has roamed through the seven cities of love while we have barely turned down the first street. (1) Attar was born in Nishapur around 1145CE during the reign of Abbasid caliph al-Muqtafī who finally succeeded in asserting the caliphate militarily against their supposed Sunni Seljuk Turkic vassals. Ghazzali had passed away in the conveniently memorable 1111CE leaving his enduring influence upon Sunni-Sufi high culture. What more can we say about his socio-political and cultural context? (2) Attar seemed to have been little known beyond his city. His family business appears to be a pharmacy. What more can we say about his personal biography? (3) Attar is best known for his Conference of the Birds. Give us a guide to reading that work, and tell us about his other works. (4) What translations and secondary resources would you recommend on Attar? (5) And finally let's end with a sample and translation.

    What role can poetry play in public health? Henneh Kyereh Kwaku joins Jared to explore how his MFA in Creative Writing intersects with his academic background in public health and disease control. Together, they discuss how Henneh uses a poetic lens to examine issues like vaccine hesitancy. He also reflects on writing about his home country of Ghana while living in the US, drawing from non-fiction and audio storytelling through cross-genre courses, and finding lasting support from MFA faculty even after his graduation.Winner of Poetry Magazine's J. Howard and Barbara M.J. Wood Prize, Henneh Kyereh Kwaku was born in Gonasua and raised in Drobo in the Bono Region of Ghana. He has received fellowships from the Library of Africa and the African Diaspora (LOATAD), Chapman University, and the Carolyn Moore Writing Residency. He is an interdisciplinary scholar with a Bachelor of Public Health (Disease Control), an MA in Health Education, an MFA in Creative Writing, and is pursuing a PhD with an emphasis in Health and Culture. His (public) health communication scholarship explores art-based approaches to addressing medical mistrust and vaccine hesitancy in Black populations. He's the author of Revolution of the Scavengers (African Poetry Book Fund/Akashic Books, 2020) and the founder/host of the Church of Poetry. His poems/essays have appeared or are forthcoming in the Academy of American Poets' A-Poem-A-Day, Poetry Magazine, Prairie Schooner, World Literature Today, Air/Light Magazine, Tupelo Quarterly, Poetry Society of America, Lolwe, Agbowó, CGWS, Olongo Africa, 20:35 Africa, and elsewhere.

To illustrate this, he exposes the hidden stories of two famous families who, through deliberate “whitening,” have had their true African heritage obscured from public view. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of how power, politics, and perception continue to shape the narrative of Black identity.

"The last murder in the bloodiest Vendetta in modern times was committed the 20th day of August when Tom Kinder killed John Ferguson on the road from Homer to Trenton. For three years the fight has been on and twenty men have fallen in the conflict. There are two local papers here, but their editors have handled the incidents of the feud in a gingerly manner for fear, I suppose, of getting a charge of shot or a warning to leave town. For that reason nothing is known of it outside of Claiborne parish. The parties from whom I gleamed the facts for this article talked under their breaths and only on conditions that their names be kept secret. They were actually afraid of the few ruffians who perpetrate the vendetta, for their blood is hot and there's no telling what they would do." This week in Louisiana history. October 18, 1730. Gov.

    The first time I had much use for poetry came in college, freshmen year. My professor assigned each of us to memorize a poem and recite it in class. Horrified, I chose ee cummings' "anyone lived in a pretty how town" and began the process of reading it a million times between tennis practices and snowball fights. Over and over and over I read it, trying to memorize how the words and lines zipped together without the usual literary wardrobe of grammar. I can still remember pieces, twenty five years later: "anyone lived in a pretty how town / with up so many floating bells down..." "no one loved him more by more..." As I read and read, I realized the poem featured two characters named "anyone" and "no one." I began to understand how the years passed quickly through the lines and stanzas, as cycles of time spun through small word choices. I saw its heartbreak. Reading by reading I began to find it utterly beautiful. By the time my friends and I went out to practice for our class presentation by reciting our poems in the middle of Pomona College's outdoor Greek theater late one night, I loved it. But I was still really nervous. As an educator, I've often wondered how to help students get as close up to a poem as I got to ee cummings' "anyone lived in a pretty how town." What makes it possible to step inside the story of a poem, try on its language, dream its dreams? Maybe without having to recite it though? This month I had a chance to explore some of Robert Scott Root-Bernstein and Michèle Root-Bernstein book, Sparks of Genius: The Thirteen Thinking Tools of the World's Most Creative People. Inside, they discuss the risk of education staying on a kind of hypothetical parallel track to the realities of the world, each so close to each other and yet never quite touching. Imagination and experience, they suggest, have become disconnected. "This being the case," write the Root-Bernsteins, "the task for educators, self-learners, and parents is simply put: to reunite the two. And the world's most creative people tell us how in their own words and deeds, in their own explorations of their own minds at work. What they find as individuals, when taken as a whole, is a common set of thinking tools at the heart of creative understanding" (24-25). What are these tools, you might well ask, and what do they have to do with ee cummings, students, and the study of poetry? The tools are: observing, imaging, abstracting, recognizing patterns, forming patterns, analogizing, body thinking, empathizing, dimensional thinking, modeling, playing, transforming, and synthesizing. They're pretty fascinating to play around with when it comes to designing curriculum. How might we help students better understand a poem, using these tools? I decided to experiment with designing around patterns when it comes to ee cummings, a master of writing in rhythms and cycles. The nexus of patterns and poetry had me thinking of blackout poetry at first, but of course, I already had a poem. I didn't need a new one. So I decided to try a new spin on the blackout - blacking out for discovering meaning, instead of to create a new poem. Instead of a blackout poem, I would try a poem blackout, illuminating what patterns I could find by eliminating everything else. For me, the results were powerful. So today on the pod, let me walk you through how to do a poem blackout of your own in class, with any poem you might want to dig deeply into with students. If you love blackout poetry, I think you'll love this riff. As usual, I really encourage you to check out the show notes for the oh-so-necessary visuals to complement this episode.

    On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Sara Rian - writer, poet, and therapist. Sara's story is one of profound loss, transformation, passion, and purpose.  In 2018, Sara lost her mother to suicide - a devastating loss that changed the trajectory of her life. That pain became a catalyst for her creative and professional journey, pulling her deeper into writing, therapy, and helping others find light in the darkness. Today, Sara uses her gifts as both a writer and therapist to create spaces where others can explore grief, mental health, and healing without shame. Her writing is raw, tender, and deeply human - and through her words, she reminds us that even our most broken parts can become pathways to love, empathy, and understanding. Sara is the author of several deeply moving books, including Then Death Came, Find Me There, Loving the Gone, We Are Carried, and more — all circling around the themes of loss, love, and what it means to be carried through pain into purpose. This episode is part of our Every Woman, Every Girl campaign — celebrating the truth that every woman and every girl has power, purpose, and a story worth telling. And Sara embodies that message so beautifully. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Sara's story growing up and the early experiences that shaped her; ✨ How the loss of her mother in 2018 transformed her life and inspired her to write; ✨ The healing power of poetry and storytelling - and how it became her refuge; ✨ How her work as a therapist and her writing intersect to help others heal; ✨ What she's learned about grief, love, and resilience; ✨ Her advice for women and girls searching for purpose or healing; ✨ And so much more!
