Thank you, incredibly, for wanting to ask me questions, and for caring about my words.
It is such an honour to be a part of this series. I love how different the creative practice of each parent who writes is. How we all manage to do it, somehow.
I caught one typo…where I accidentally wrote post instead of poet. (Or the autocorrected, because I caught it trying to edit poet to post just then!) but as a poet, I think post works. I am an actor for my children, a fence-post in the ground, and gives them security and a sturdy presence which they can come back to if they are overwhelmed.
Post or poet. They both work.
Thank you again Danusia! I appreciate you beyond measure.
Oh Wake, thank you. I loved being in conversation with you for this. And yes, I saw that tiny post/poet slip and almost left it in… because what a stunning accident. A post in the ground. A poet in motion. Both steady, both offering something to return to. You do that, in your parenting and your work.
Grateful to have your voice in this series, it’s a gift. 💖
