Everyday Buddhism 110 - Poetry and Writing as Spiritual Practice with Nadia Colburn

In this episode I talk with Nadia Colburn. Nadia is the author of the poetry books, I Say the Sky and The High Shelf, and her poetry and prose have appeared in more than eighty publications, including The New Yorker, American Poetry Review, The Kenyon Review, Spirituality & Health, Lion's Roar, and The Yale Review.

She holds a Ph.D. in English from Columbia University, is a yoga teacher and serious student of Thich Nhat Hanh, and is the founder of Align Your Story Writing School, which brings traditional literary and creative writing studies together with mindfulness, embodied practices, and social and environmental engagement. The school has a community of over 30,000 mindful writers. Nadia lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her husband and two children.

Stay tuned as we listen to Nadia read some poems from her book and talk about, among many other things:

The relationship between Buddhist / meditation practice and writing.
Poetry and literature as a companion or an offering as a mirror to yourself.
Literature as a place where people can speak truths that are sometimes uncomfortable but not talked about all the time.
Writing as therapy and healing.
And much more!

Sit back and enjoy the flow of conversation and poetry with the delightful Nadia Colburn.
