How to find your people and your place in the world… Q&A episode!
“As a young poet, reading is a search for your lost family. You’re looking for your secret poetry fathers and your secret poetry mothers. And cousins and sisters, people who are like you. Not your biological family, but your imaginative family. The family you’d like to be reborn into.
Every time you’ve found a poet you absolutely love, you’ve found another relative. People who are spiritual relatives. And that means you’re not alone. It means that you read Walt Whitman and you feel that recognition and think ‘My God! This is my strange great uncle Walt!’ It makes it easier for you to live. To know that you’re not alone. And so these poems become a part of your life.” // Please come find all my books and links to social media on my website: www.charlotteeriksson.com 🤍
