The French painter, Georges Braque said “art is a wound turned into light”. I love that quote because art - regardless of medium - can be such a great way to heal. Healing takes many forms for many people and my guest this week - author Michelle Malon has released two books of poetry inspired by the passing of her mother.
Michelle was kind enough to share so much with me about her story, her pain, laughs, joy and her art. You’ll hear some of her poems throughout the episode as well as responses she wrote to them. I appreciate the courage to not only write these words but share them on this platform.
