As a writer I find this talk inspiring. The way in which the complex relationship between life as we live it and 'art', 'literature' 'poetry' in my case is played out is fascinating. I have been working with the myth of Demeter and Persephone and see in the 'transposition' and 'remembering' of my own story how these binary opposites play against each other in a cathartic way and give satisfaction in the end even if that satisfaction is not entirely complete. Enjoyed this discussion around the essential 'therapeutic' role, the 'narrative healing' of writing....Thank you Richard Kearney.
