Thank you for sharing so much of your journey with us, Josie. Don't be too hard on yourself. I just bought your book. I am in Australia. Really looking forward to reading your poems. It takes about seven years to recover from grief - so you are doing really well. Its 2024 now, an I look forward to seeing how you are going. Grief is not about letting go anymore, but reconciling with continuing bonds. Regards Christine
Go well during these days of emotional reminders Josie. Well done on your poetry collection and your courage in sharing yourself this video. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more from you in the new year. I'd love to hear you discuss the difficult to answer question: 'What makes a poem?' or 'What are the key elements of a good poem?' or even 'What are the unique gifts and opportunities inherent in poetry - for both author and reader?'

Thanks Mary! The dreaded what makes a poem question. I'll get on it
