The Literary Sipper Dives into Body Work

This week's episode is a starter kit to recognizing the role of body work in your creative life. There are a lot of names thrown around, book titles offered, and even a Walt Whitman poem at the end. But above all, honor your body the way you do your muses. Without it, you couldn't make anything.

Here are some links to the people, books and poems I mention:

• Susan Sontag

• Marie Curie

• Nikki Giovanni

• Hayden Dunham

• Frida Kahlo

• The Body Keeps The Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, Bessel van der Kolk, MD

• Alvin Ailey Dance

• I sing the body electric, Walt Whitman

Treasure your breath and keep doing the good work.
