It is always meaningful and helpful when a guest has undergone a similar significant experience as your host. In the case of our current guest this has been the passing of fathers.The subject of loss more generally (alongside achievement) is one of the greatest themes in all of art and I certainly relished the experience of being able to discuss matters most personal but in the context of creating those world of representation that we often call art.

The opportunity to hear a poet read their own poems is also always one of the highest point on episodes like these. Thank you Miguel Eichelberger and Coldwater Communications for the opportunity to speak about this beautiful work.More about Miguel Eichelberger Miguel Eichelberger is a writer, communicator, and joyful mutineer. His creative work has appeared in literary magazines and on stages around the world. His most recent publications include Acta Victoriana, Harpur Palate, Rappahannock Review, Literary Review of Canada, and Plainsongs Magazine, and his poetry is a feature piece in the Ducktown Poetry Trail in Atlantic City, a collaborative art project between Murphy Writing and the Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University that brings awareness to issues of social justice.Visit Miguel’s Website, here:https://www.migueleichelberger.com/More Miguel’s very special new work by , here:An exciting new release from Poetose that we believe will resonate deeply with your audience. In May 2025, Poetose will be publishing Everything Is, a powerful debut poetry collection by Vancouver-based writer Miguel Eichelberger.In this collection, Eichelberger confronts everything he encounters following the loss of his father with eyes-wide-open—a father who was a mentor, friend and model for living in this world. “No one has a roadmap, no language to consult when they meet real grief for the first time,” says Eichelberger, “just a limbic system on fire. Grief is trying to tell us something, but the way we view and understand death in a modern context tends to move us away from the profound gifts that can only be gathered when we sit in and feel every single piece of it.”

This isn’t a book written for poets or magazine editors, but for everyone. More than just a personal catharsis for the poet—it’s a universal companion for anyone navigating their own grief.One of the standout pieces in the collection, Self-Talk at the Wake, was nominated for Best of the Net, (available to be read on the Poetose website), and another, Come as Quick as You Can was long-listed for the 2024 Frontier Open Poetry Prize.Miguel Eichelberger is an accomplished writer whose work has appeared in literary journals around the world like Harpur Palate, Rappahannock Review, the Literary Review of Canada and Plainsongs Magazine. His plays have appeared on stages in the UK and Canada and he is a featured poet in the Ducktown Poetry Trail in Atlantic City, a collaborative art initiative focused on issues of social justice. As a writer, communicator, and “joyful mutineer,” Miguel is a gifted and heartfelt speaker on subjects too numerous to name.It is an important and timely read for anyone seeking power and wholeness through grief.#poetry #thefairequeen #canada #unitedstates #portugal #switzerland #linguistics #fucntion #style #verse #singersongwriter #folkmusic #rock #jazz $hiphop #rap #edmundspenser #family #generation #genx #millennials #everythingis #buddhism #catholicism #christianity #science #news #truth #romanticism #naturalscience #cosmology #astrophysics #astronomy #solarsystem #evolution #psychology #grief #therapy #jeanettewinterson #orangesarenottheonlyfruit #thepassion #france #england #queer #gender #sexuality #marriage #lesbianism #gaypride #education #editor #artsbroadcasting #books #audiobooks #creativity #artists
