Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Colette Lafia discuss the following:
Your book is titled Leaving the Shore. What does that phrase mean to you, and how did it become the title of the book?
When did you first realize that creativity was more than self-expression, that it was sacred? Was there a moment when you understood creativity as part of your spiritual calling?
Many of your poems begin with very simple, everyday moments—sharing a meal, sipping your morning tea, noticing the world around you. How do those ordinary experiences become doorways to recognizing the sacred presence at the heart of our lives?
How have you seen poetry become a doorway for people to discover their own spiritual experience?
You draw on many older contemplative traditions, yet you’ve made them very accessible for contemporary readers. What draws you to those traditions, and what do they offer people today?
You’ve been sharing your poetry in both online and in-person gatherings. What have you discovered through those experiences, and what are people taking away from them?
For someone who says, “I’m not a poetry person,” how can this book still speak to them?
If readers take only one thing away from Leaving the Shore, what do you hope begins to change in the way they experience their everyday lives?
