First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing with Mitzi Rapkin

by rosemerryt@gmail.com

One of the most honest, provocative interviews I have ever had was done live in December with Mitzi Rapkin of First Draft: A dialogue on writing. You can listen to the podcast here or anywhere you listen to podcasts. Or, watch the video above, which includes questions from the audience after the formal interview.

We discuss my new book, The Unfolding, and also…
*the nature of praise
*living in liminal spaces between dualities
*the role of creativity in meeting grief
*how working with a spiritual teacher set the groundwork for meeting difficult moments with curiosity
*what is grace?
*the role of play in writing endings
*Brian Swimme’s 11 Powers of the Universe and how they influenced my new book, The Unfolding
*honoring sibling grief
*the hardest poem I have ever written
