When artist and author Anna Brones recently interviewed me for her newsletter and podcast Creative Fuel she asked me what shape my art practice had taken throughout cancer treatment.
Lindsay! Your heartfelt, stunning expression makes my heart sing. Your extraodinary words describe true transformation with insight, consciousness, and so much courage and love. Your voice is strong.
Hi Lindsay, I discovered your work through Anna Brones. :)
I just wanted to tell you that poetry is nothing else than what you do : waking up at night, writing what comes, letting things emerge according to their rhythm. It's a much more embodied process than what we're usually taught about writing works.
Your poem is simply beautiful because it is true.
I myself write poetry and when words seem to disappear, I go to drawing . Awkwardly because I don't know how to draw, but the gesture of drawing helps me to be more fluid in my body and my words. And I know it is more true than the words I want to write, because I draw with a beginner's mind, which is so rejuvenating!
May our arts always intertwine themselves to guide us on our journey!
In this piece I feel the power of water and place, loss and love. Thank you for sharing parts of your ongoing journey. And what a celebration to step back into the lake! 💙
Breathtaking in its beauty and honesty Lindsay. I admire and appreciate your words and message. Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you well and a beautiful summer with your family. G.
