This week on Common Shapes podcast, I’m deep in conversation with poet, teacher, and my dear friend, Jacqueline Suskin.

Jacqueline is a poet and educator who has been teaching workshops, writing books, hosting retreats and creating spontaneous poetry around the world since 2009. She’s published eight books, and her most recent one, A Year In Practice, was just released with Sounds True press.

Together we talk about seasonal practices, radically reconnecting with the Earth, Fern Gully, writing multiple books, having multiple calendars, and choosing to remember.

Tune in to learn about—

• The radical nature of connecting to the Earth’s cycles
• How to tap into seasonal rhythms
• Jacqueline’s daily & weekly planning practices
• What’s our work & what’s not our work
• How to hold nuance in your writing

This week on Common Shapes podcast, I’m joined by my dear friend Fariha Róisín for a conversation at the intersections of writing, politics, care, and liberation.

Fariha is a multi-disciplinary artist born in Ontario, Canada and raised in Sydney, Australia. As a Muslim queer Bangladeshi, she is interested in the margins, liminality, otherness, and the mercurial nature of being. She’s the author of five books and writes the Substack newsletter, How to Cure a Ghost.

In this episode, Fariha shares her experience telling the truth amidst propaganda and channeling righteous rage into writing. She explains how she approaches writing about Palestine during the genocide in Gaza and how she embeds the depth of her feelings and beliefs in her work.

Tune in to hear about—

• Feeling the responsibility to speak out
• Fariha’s process for working on two books at once
• Pouring your feelings into your writing
• Demystifying spiritual practice
• The importance of surrender
• Where the personal meets the political
• How Fariha writes her weekly newsletter
