The Terrain.org Podcast
In our seventh episode, we present Wildness: Life, or Death:
Apparently there’s nothing like trying to paddle a gravely ill child out of a swampy wilderness to remind us that death, in fact, is the ultimate wildness. But what does that mean for our lives? This episode of Soundscapes gives voice to Terrain.org contributors Janisse Ray, Robert Morgan, and Kim Parko as we explore the ability of the written word to engage with big questions. Listen to Robert Morgan read his poem “Portal,” listen to Janisse Ray read her essay “I Have Seen the Warrior,” enjoy a conversation between Miranda Perrone and Janisse Ray, and listen to Kim Park read her poem “Our woman.” We hope you enjoy our offerings.
Essays and poems referenced in this episode:
Fascinating conversations with authors, artists, scientists, and others who share Terrain.org’s passion for place and focus on climate, community, and justice. We delve deeply into guests’ work and imagination, exploring internal and external landscapes to reach the soul of place.
