@gcvsa Thank you for your help! :) I will see whether any of these feel familiar.
@John Thank you!
@tefferbear Thank you - I really appreciate that.

@Owen_G_Richards Thank you so much for looking.

I was introduced to the book by a grief practitioner I've been working with, and whilst I took note of the title, I didn't note the exact poem.

It doesn't feel familiar at a second reading.

Hi all,

I'm looking to confirm which of Emily Dickinson's poems appear in Jane Hirshfield's book 'Women In Praise of the Sacred' (1995)

The book is out of print, and Google is not being forthcoming.

Any help would be much appreciated.

@svenja Hello! Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my article.

It's great to meet you here.

Take care,

I am experienced in allowing my grief to move my pen, or move my fingers over my keyboard.
I am less practiced in talking about how my experience of disability impacts my grieving process.

Last month I was given an opportunity by Let's Talk About Loss for #DisabilityPrideMonth

Reach Out Your Hand: On Finding the Courage to Ask for Help - Let's Talk About Loss

Casey writes a blog all about asking for help and support as a disabled young griever, for Disability Pride Month

Let's Talk About Loss

This essay I wrote in 2020 is the closest I have come to a mission statement.

Realising it was no longer available online made me sad, so I fixed that and rehomed it on Substack.

Reflections on the role of poetry

As I await the opportunity to share my latest published work, I want to share a piece that I rediscovered recently…with a few adjustments.

Early April is a tender time for me.

In today's #Substack post, I share a little about why alongside a new way to engage with my work.
