Hello Earth: A Month of Daily Reflections (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

These "Earth Hellos" were written June 2020. They are a series of brief 'mindful writings' but they very soon expanded into longer prose poems: meditations of a sort.They deepen our connection to the self and the earth in profound, unexpected ways. During the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, when in Australia there were lockdowns and quarantining, the author went into self-isolation for some months (being high-risk on several counts). It was a strange period - confronting the unknown, dealing with fear, finding of necessity different ways to live and communicate. The author's month of daily 'earthellos' was crucial in maintaining her wellbeing. And may very well add to the wellbeing of the reader.

Autorenporträt

Rosemary Nissen-Wade is an Australian poet, witch, Reiki Master and professional psychic medium as well as a former librarian and book reviewer, and a sometime copy-editor and Creative Writing teacher.

She grew up on the island of Tasmania where, throughout her childhood, the moon shone in through her high, uncurtained bedroom window; so she thinks she was bound to be poetic and magical (and both started from an early age).

She spent much of her adult life in the city of Melbourne, and now lives in a small town in the sub-tropical Northern Rivers region of NSW. She has outlived three husbands and has a number of grown-up children, foster-children and step-children as well as several step-grandchildren.

Author of three volumes of poetry, several e-chapbooks and some collaborations with other poets, she has taught writing in both tertiary institutions and community settings.

Rosemary was one of the founders of the Melbourne Poets Union in the late 1970s, started a program of prison poetry workshops in the early eighties, and was part of a poetry theatre group called Word of Mouth. For a decade she was an independent publisher of Australian poetry, as proprietor of Abalone Press and a member of the Pariah Press Cooperative. She taught Poetry Writing as part of professional writing courses at Holmesglen and Box Hill Colleges of TAFE in Melbourne, and at Victoria College, Toorak (Melbourne) which is now part of Deakin University.

She founded, and for seven years facilitated the very successful WordsFlow writers' group at Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre in far northern NSW, before handing it over to other facilitators who continued it a further three years. In its ten years of operation, a number of members had books published and two began and completed degrees in Professional Writing. More recently she responded to requests for a new writers' group, also at PBNC, for women writers, as part of Pottsville Beach Village of Women (VOW). VOW Writers was one way in which VOW supported and empowered women survivors of various kinds of trauma, and encouraged them to share their talents more widely. The writers' group, the longest-lasting section of VOW, disbanded after four years with the members having got what they needed from it in terms of their writing and their emotional empowerment. They still meet socially from time to time.

Rosemary has long embraced the online poetry world via blogging, ...
