Witnessing Words

November 23, 2021 Fi Burke

My world of words has just grown larger and richer thanks to the insightful and exceptional poetry teachings of poet Sarah Wescott.

This exciting journey with the written word continues and each step seems to be cementing a deeper connection with poetry.

 “Poems can bear witness to the deep-soul moments.” Sarah Westcott.

I have learnt to pay more attention to what I hear, that poetry can take on all shapes and sizes and that it really can be as true and as authentic of an expression as visual art. 

Language can be connector, facilitator, soother, uniter, conveyor, and transporter.

And ultimately, “all writing is a collaboration with yourself”. Sarah Westcott.

Poetry is giving me the ears to hear myself, to listen out for mother nature.
