Episode: Episode 8: Grief at Personal and Eco Loss in Poetry
Description: A Listener's Question from Chika. Actually two questions on whether grief writing can be seen as exploitative and whether personal grief twins with environmental mourning in poems. I aim to address my perspective on this complexity in 10 minutes, drawing on the origins of elegy, elegiac poets, current quotes from Natasha Tretheway on grief and art and the communal fusions of modes of mourning. I love these challenges!
