Poetry & Healing: Author Elieen Porzuczek

<p>⚠️ <strong>Content note:</strong> This episode includes discussions of trauma, survival, death, and healing. In this episode, Kim sits down with author Eileen Porzuczek to talk about her poetic memoir, <em>Memento Mori</em>, and the deeply personal journey behind it.</p><p>Eileen shares her powerful story of surviving a ceiling collapse and how that life-changing experience shaped her writing, her perspective, and her relationship with poetry. We talk about the meaning behind <em>Memento Mori</em> — “remember you must die” — and how confronting mortality can change the way we look at life.</p><p>We also dive into the transformative power of poetry, processing trauma through storytelling, the vulnerability that comes with writing personal experiences, and the emerging world of eco-horror poetry. Eileen gives us insight into her creative process and why intentionality and connection between the writer and reader matter so much.</p><p>This conversation is raw, thoughtful, and a beautiful reminder that sometimes the hardest stories to tell can become the ones that help us heal and connect with others.</p><p>Follow Elieen here:</p><p><a href="https://www.eileenporzuczek.com/">⁠https://www.eileenporzuczek.com/⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eileen-Porzuczek/author/">⁠https://www.amazon.com/stores/Eileen-Porzuczek/author/⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/eileenporzuczek/">⁠https://www.instagram.com/eileenporzuczek/⁠</a></p><p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/18290498.Eileen_Porzuczek">⁠https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/18290498.Eileen_Porzuczek⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p></p>
