In conversation with Tracey Matisak, award-winning broadcaster and journalist
Katherine May’s fiction and memoirs include The Electricity of Every Living Thing, Burning Out, and No-Stress Meditation. She was also the editor of The Best, Most Awful Job, an anthology of essays about motherhood. Her latest book is Wintering, a paean to how we muddle through life’s inevitable fallow seasons and embrace the opportunities these moments offer. Melding lessons from literature, the natural world, and personal experience, it's referred to by Elizabeth Gilbert as “every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself.” The former Programme Director for Creative Writing at Canterbury Christ Church University, May has published work in such varied periodicals as Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and the Times of London.

I came here from bbc radio 4 reading of Wintering. Just wonderful. Thank you from a chilly, wintery Paris.
Tracey Marisak - Beautiful job of interviewing! Katherine May - You are a treasure! Your compassionate insight and thoughtful gentle expressive style are gifts to us! Thank you to two solid women!
I wish she had narrated the audiobook, I love the way she narrates her stories.
I don't think that people have been allowed to express the feelings about how awful the pandemic has been. People have not been compassionate, there's just been loads of toxic positivity and shaming around expressing any emotion about what we have been through.
Excellent interviewer and guest! Loved the wisdom.
Thank you Joseph, your words are valuable
This was awesome!!!!
Love this thank you 🙏🙏🙏
The part of insomnia and how people used to sleep - early for 4 hours then wake up and do something then sleep again, that's fascinating. I wonder how far back that goes. So the industrial revolution changed how we sleep?
If there is no unity there may be no life. Yet unity may mean the end of life. So what to do.
Carefully selected and edited...

I'm really glad that I didn't have such an ineffectual Mother...

It really drives home the whole 'always believe half of what you hear and none of what you read.' trope.
