“Meraki is a modern Greek word which means to put something of yourself into what you’re doing: passion, love, creativity, all the good stuff, and only the good stuff.”
On this episode of Meraki Radio: Perspectives, Alonna Shaw gives listeners a foray into her ecopoetry manuscript Tidal Language. She discusses her process for creating the project and we hear her read a few select poems. Alison B interjects her perspective as they ride the waves of Tidal Language. The poems dive into themes of consumerism, capitalism, ecology, and home.
